The 1pt smiter guide to Uber Tristram v 1.0.

Hi is a Breath of the Dying Berserker Axe an option for this build?
I have all the other items that is suggested for the rich but only a smite damage of 661-1382, and thats not much.
 
OK, heres the outcome of the 'jewel question' from a page or two back:

Okay, I've tested this in PvP, with jeweled helms, just to be sure that it isn't a display glitch. The damage dealt is more or less what the Character Screen says it should be, which means that Ragnarod is correct.

* Jewels with only +ED% and no +Min or +Max damage will work as expected. That is, the +ED% will add to the item/skill multiplier, in the same way a Fortitude's +ED% would.
* Jewels with +ED% and +Min damage will only apply their +ED% to the total Maximum damage.
* Jewels with +ED% and +Max damage will only apply their +ED% to the total Minimum damage.


So, a 40%ed / +15 Max damage jewel in a helm will add +15 to your maximum damage, and apply an additional +40%ed to your minimum damage. Whereas a plain 40%ed jewel will apply the +40%ed to both minimum and maximum damage.

Just in case anyone was wondering & too lazy to visit the statistics section! :thumbup:
 
BOTD is not a very ideal weapon I guess, the meteor from Diablo itself is already prone to game dropping, plus the Poison Nova from BOTD is worst :) I've been using G2buy's guide though, their setup never fails me ;) The use of rising sun is also very smart :p You can check it out here: uber smiter guide.
 
Hmm I have thies items on at the monemt and only getting 900-1700 of smite dam, and when I look in the guide he's: got 1pt smite damage=2274-2305 with a redeemer.

Amor - Chains of honor
Weapon - redeemer +110 dam
Shield - Exile Ethereal Elite Paladin Shield
Helm - Guillaume’s face helm,
Boots - gore rider
Gloves - dracul’s grasp
Amulet - highlord’s
Rings - Raven frost and carrion wind

And my skills are as follow whit all the plus skill and all:
Zeal: 28
Sacrifice: 28
Fanaticism: 30
Holy Shield: 28
Smite: 9

Can anyone see whats wrong?
 
lllLastWishlll-I'm pretty sure you should not be linking sites like that on this site.

Crazzy-Remember the LCS does not factor in +dmg correctly, that could be the cause of the damage difference. Exile might need to be swapped out for a shield with better resists, you have Life Tap from Dracs already.

Helm/boots/gloves. Here I suggest the combo that I call the Backbone of tristram runners.

Guillaume’s face helm,
gore rider boots,
dracul’s grasp gloves.

These items provide you with all the crushing blow, open wounds and life tap that you’ll need. This setup offers 83% crushing blow.

I dont know if I am wrong but:
Draculs: 25 % open wounds
Guillaume: 35% CB, 15% DS
Gore: 10% open wounds, 15% CB and 15% DS
Grief: 20% DS
Which results in 35 % open wounds, 50% DS but only 50% CB, not 83%. I am confused!


 
The extra 33% CB you're not finding comes from the weapon suggested in that setup, which is Heaven's Light, when saying 'these items' in the guide he's referring to the weapon too (mentioned just before the part you quoted).
 
Well, if you're using the +damage setup (Grief) then yes, if you're using the CB setup (Death) then you'd actually have 100% since the weapon adds another 50%. You could also use Gobling Toe instead of Gores for an extra 10% CB, but 50-60% is plenty in any case, don't worry too much. :)
 
Sorry if i don't read the entire post to find out if this has been asked yet, but I didn't see any mention of Mercs from the OP. Do you just not use one for Uber runs? If you do, what gear do you want them to have? I was thinking Andy's Eth bugged Fort, Phoenix Rune Word CA (I'm also not sure if Phoenix works for the entire party or just the person with it equipped). Any advice?
 
Mercs have a tendancy to wander and spawn the Ubers all at once before you're ready, unless they are used cautiously and kept under tight control with teleport.

Edit: And Phoenix will only work for the person with it equipped.
 
Hi, i would like to become some advice about my paladin. Is he ready for ubertristan? (first time in my live!):

Lvl 81
1074 Life
10929 defense
75% bloq

199 resist all (+80 salvation when needed)

Guillaumes (free socket still)
(ShaelShael) Heavens light
Metalgrid
Prudence
PalaShieldx4xDiamonds
Draculs
Dwarfstar
Raven
Credendum
Gore's
Guillaumes

Is he ready?
What would be your next investments?

Thank you for the help.
 
Life is a bit on the low side, but it looks ok, I think you'll be fine. The next investment would probably be saving for a CtA for some extra life (until then perhaps you might want to look at a wand with Life Tap charges on switch, so as to avoid getting killed if the chance to cast from Dracul's doesn't go off immediately), and perhaps a Treachery for prebuffing yourself since you have no DR.
 
Thank you Ragnarok. I forgot to comment that i have a Life tap on switch. I will prove trachery, and maybe and UM for the guillaumes. With meph my resist should be 45 and i think that it would be better to improve this 30 points.
 
45 resists with conviction on could be lead to a close fight, if you really watch your life, and not try to rush things, you should be fine. Using Fade from Treachery would be the best bet its pretty cheap and works wonders.
 
How would a typical hammerdin with 3k life do in ubers with just grief weapon, draculs, and gulleaume(and other typical hammer eq)? Light res would probably be close to -100 after conv, but would lifetap + 3k life be enough of a buffer against it?
