LLD lvl 29 smiter (yes I know that is high for lld, but so many people bring their high lvls, so it’s useful to have a somewhat low lvl char to take care of them)
Str: 65 with gear on
Dex: 75 with gear on
Vita: rest
Energy: base
Skills:
20 smite
6 holy shield
1 concentration
1 in prerequisites
this is up to 33 skill points. If your getting the hell rush put the rest into concentration and if u don’t feel like finding the war scepter of amp with at least 1 in holy freeze, spend 2 points and put it into holy freeze.
Gear: (If u lld u should be semi rich)
Weapon: war scepter of amplify dmg
- the scepter must have: at least 1 in holy freeze
- it would be nice to also have either at least 1+ to holy shield or concentration
- now do a hell socket quest in this and pray for 2 socs. Soc it with 2x shaels
weapon2: teleport staff (preferable with fcr)
armor: twitchthroe, hands down the best lld armor for someone under 30. shael this.
shield: runeword rhyme in a barbed shield. Your using this instead of one of the pala shield because the barbed shield has base smite dmg at 18-35 and is the highest dmg u can get at lvl 29. also cnf faster block, resistances and mana regen.
ammy: rare pala ammy with 1+ to skill and nice mods (life, mana, dex, str, resistances)
rings: 2x sojs. 1+ to skill and mana.
boots: cow king boots. U could use sander boots here, but 20 dex instead of 10 dex + 5 str. U save 5 stat points. It also has more defense then sanders.
belt: strings of ears with 15% DR. DR plus some magic dmg reduce
gloves: bloodfists. 30 fhr, 40 life and 10 ias. (u might consider upgrading these, but I’m not sure what clvl it is if upgraded I haven’t tried)
helm: peasant crown. 1+ to skill 20 vita 20 energy, godly for lld. Shael this.
U have over 60 ias so u hit the 7th frame for smite. U have 90 fhr so u hit the fourth frame for fhr.
Charms:
40x 15 life sc’s
keep 2x shimmering gc in stash (15 all resists)
Strats: (always have holy shield up)
Low lvl dueling:
Kick asn: turn on holy freeze and when they turn cold, turn on concentration. The whole time doing smite.
Trappers: holy freeze them to keep them slow. Try to charge them into a wall and smite them so they can’t move. These guys are annoying of they play it right. These guys will be hard so don’t worry about losing to them.
Ww barb: easy, turn off run, smite them, and hold shift when they are near u. easy kills
Conc barb: charge them with holy freeze on. When they turn cold, turn on concentration, the whole time smiting them. Easy as well.
Throw barb: these guys can be annoying. They just keep throwing and running. Dodge the projectiles and try to charge them into a wall and smite them.
Zealdins: they’ll charge u. u don’t even need holy freeze. Just leave concentration on and smite the hell out of them.
Chargedins: these guys are deadly. Dueled one guy who kept 1 hit killing me. U wanna try to move to the side when they charge. Turn on holy freeze and charge them into a wall. Keep smiting them so they can’t charge u.
Zons: they run. End of story. Charge them into a wall and smite them. Keep holy freeze on.
Elemental druids: a good elemental druid can really hurt you. U wanna try to charge him into a wall and keep him stun locked. His ravens will help him escape though.
Sorcs: lvl 33 sorcs are hard. They keep teleporting around and shooting u. try and keep up with them and charge them into a wall when they are near one. Keep going in circles around them so their fireballs, blizzards, frozen orbs don’t hit u as much. Their block rate sucks so try and to keep them stunned.
Necros: your worse enemy. They bone prison u and then bone spear u. try to teleport next to them when they bone prison u. if your lucky then’ll trap themselves inside of the bp as well. If your unlucky they missed and will run. Try to charge them into a wall and smite them. Turn on holy freeze when they run and concentration when they are trapped.
You basically dominate low lvl dueling games. U just gotta be careful of people who use sol runs in their armors, helms, shields, and items that have damage reduced by x.
High lvl dueling:
Basically everybody can kill u in 1 hit in 1.1
Try to charge them into a wall and smite them and keep them stunned.
You will lose to trappers, cs zons, ww barbs, conc barbs, sorcs, necros. Your lvl 29 your bound to lose to high lvls unless they are noobs. I have killed high lvl bowazons, kick asns, some smiters, zealdins, throw barbs, and wolf druids.
ps i didn't proofread and i copied from microsoft so there'll be copy errors in there.
edit: easy places to find the items
weapons = u wanna shop ormus in hell. probably want to have your hammerdin with vigor on running back and forth from ormus to wp (remember to have at least 500k with u).
armor + belt + gloves + ammy + helm = norm baal runs. keep doing baal in 8 player games and u should find these in no time.
boots = norm cows. keep doing norm cows til u find one.
rings = if ladder i would wait til sojs drop to down lower or do nm andy runs. if nl just trade for them it's not that hard to get
shield = find one doing nm baal runs or doing nm andy runs (the max sockets they can have is 2 so if u find a regular one use the soc quest on it)
runes = hell countess
charms = since these are random it'll be hardest to find these. substitute other charms with life onto your char.
edit2: stupid me forgot to give credit. first off credit to the guy who showed me how powerful a smiter is, vahn props to u even though u'll never see this.
