2 questions for a lvl15 smiter |
|
okay, so here is my cheap level 15 smiter:
full sig except shield
swordback
crushflange
angelic ring/ammy
still iso another angelic ring
45 in str, so that when i use crushflange, i can wear sig gloves, and when i wear those, i can wear everything else.
just enough in dex to get 75% block
rest in vitality (its at 52)
some charms, but not very many.
Now, to my questions.
1. I can socket sig helm, sig armor and swordback. What should i put in them (iths, flawless skulls, flawless rubies)?
2. I have 1 point in smite, prayer, cleansing and defiance.
I'm normal rushed, and so at level 15, i have 14 points remaining.
Where should i put these points for a defense/regen smiter (e.g. defiance for melee, and clensing synergised with prayer for casters and other smiters) ?
Thanks

rubies in helm and armor imo, and since you're going for a defense build i'd go with an amethyst in the shield (+24 def). you could put a skull in the shield for dueling other smiters too.
for skills, i would max defiance, and rest to prayer. i dont put too much faith in this char beating casters, and there arent too many at this level so i wouldnt worry about them and would just focus mainly on melees.

rubies are nice, other option for helm could also be stat/def jewel(ie. 4str/6dex/20def <- thouse are perf stats btw ;d i used on my smiter 6dex/20def jewel on helm and like waramp said flawless ame for more def into the shield or skull vs other smiters, also i guess stat/def jewel could be added into shield aswell and also for a weapon stat/def jewel is nice

if you get a hell rush you could go
1 smite
10 defiance
14 prayer
1 cleansing
= 26 skills. or you could swap a defiance for prayer, depending on which you need more.
socket all possible +life items with rubies for sure, stat jewel the weapon, and either ith or skull the shield.
heprea, what is your sig's build? it looks very good -.-

that would be the most used skill setup (even if not hell rushed)
my item setup:
sigons helm
angelic amu
rare eth/repair anc armor
swordbackhold
crushflange
sigons belt
sigons gloves
cow king boots
angelic ring
rare +5str/dmg reduce/ some resi ring cant remember all stats i need to check that char if its even alive anymore o.o''
charms where 10life sc's with mods like def or res

I suggest that you should replace Sigon's Shelter for a Angelic Mantle; so you'll get 48 more defense.

he really only needs 3 sigs for the 100 defense bonus. could go with angelic armor and cow boots.

i think he wants it to be sigs, just for the cheap factor. at least that's what i got out of it. otherwise yes, angelic armor and ck boots would be a better option.

Also, I bet that Sigon's Sabot and Sigon's Guard are cheaper than Cow King's Hooves and Swordback Hold.
