Uber Killing Zealot/Smiter Guide

[Killer_sss]

There has to be a limit on the amount you have to spend. If i have spent 4ist on my build, and got two annis in a night i have paid it off and made 6ists. 9 pally combats and that build why, cost an arm and a leg for something that can be achieved at 1/10th the price.

Level 32 Fanat + level 17 Might sounds great you know, but really your only doing 300%ed more than me with zeal from the auras, where as I'm doing 90%+ ds with level 26fanat there for I'm doing more damage with zeal. Your based damage will be higher than mine but i will be doing more damage over time than you. So whats so good about might isn't a great deal imo. Also my weapon is etheral so adds abit more based damage. Which your weapon can't.

In this builds case level 4zeal with maxed sac would be viable as you have ignore targets defense. I need ar not much but still need it and zeal + fanat gives all i need.

Exile Vs Hoz

Exile
15% Chance To Cast Level 5 Life Tap On Striking
Level 13-16 Defiance Aura When Equipped (varies)
+2 To Offensive Auras (Paladin Only)
+30% Faster Block Rate
Freezes Target
+220-260% Enhanced Defense (varies)
Replenish Life +7
+5% To Maximum Cold Resist
+5% To Maximum Fire Resist
25% Better Chance Of Getting Magic Items
Repairs 1 Durability in 4 Seconds

HoZ
+150-200% Enhanced Defense (varies)
30% Increased Chance Of Blocking
30% Faster Block Rate
20% Bonus To Attack Rating
+20 To Strength
+20 To Vitality
All Resistances +50
+2 To Paladin Skill Levels
+2 To Combat Skills (Paladin Only)

Exile:
Only thing it has got going for it is Lifetap, Defiance and high defense and %5 fire damage

HoZ:
Alot of +Health, +strenght, high resistance +4 to combat skills nice FBR and CTB and the defence on them is good.

How can you say Exile is the Superior Sheild.

1 technicality on the hoz yea it has faster block rate but since ur using holy shield it doesn't matter because only shield puts u a t 2 frame block rate and it takes 86% fater block to reach 1 frame block rate.

i agree with most of the items but isn't grief better for a smiter does it do equal dmg as last wish? does the ed on coh work on ubers if so should i use it over nig? and do i max zeal and sac? should i get an exile for the higher def since i won't have many skills to put in defiance.

Hi, well first off let me say that build looks awesome..except for helm i might use dream instead of a CoA but thats just me
Now i play non-ladder and i like this build and im trying to get it and you can imagine how hard it is to get last wish on non-ladder...but i already have items worth over 20 sojs for sure (and sojs are currency in non-ladder ) and im getting more it is so a lot easier to get currency since keys "came out" because i can keyhunt easily and i uber tristed with my hammerdin once already..took us (hammerdin, javazon, and 3 barbs) like 7 hours to uber trist..we had problems with mephisto..and then on the next day a smiter did uber trist in 5 minutes alone with us in the game lol..just wanna say that he had doom, e exile in vortex, dream, and a coh and gores as his gear and he owned the ubers. Now about grief, Grief is the cheap version, it has the ias but its really lacking the damage i find, i find doom better than grief because it also has holy freeze aura and adds 2 to skills and its a lot cheaper because its not ladder-only lol

The thing with last wish is that it has lvl 17 might aura when equipped which means more dmg, 60-70% of cb which is amazing because even if u jsut have last wish equipped ur going to do double damage every second hit anyway, it blinds target and ignores target defense..not to meniton it has ctc fade and life tap which is very important

Now you have to have e exile instead of a hoz because it gives lvl 15-17 defiance aura and you do have it when equipped which means not only more defense as a shield and a synergy to holy shield but more defense in general (if that makes ne sense ) and most important it has ctc life tap which is vital..and an e vortex shield does more dmg that non eth and if the hoz is eth u have to socket it with a zod which means you can't put an UM in it, and exile can be made in a +40 to all res and +50% enhanced damage shield which means that it is going to be way better tha a hoz (HoZ is a great shield don't get me wrong, i use it on my hammerdin and its the best shield for it, just for a melee'er e exile is better )

and im trying to get last wish in non ladder, if anybody has it on non-ladder i really wanna trade for it, and im pretty sure i can afford it

and as the body armor, chains of honor is better than a nigma in this case..and if u can get res from somewhere else then fort is even better(especially if it has low reqs) because it has more defense, gives ctc chilling armor and has more enhanced defence..but I, being non-ladder am going to go for a coh because it has 35-45 more res and way cheaper, and also because it gives 2 to skills

just so you know merman's sprockets are not active; you had suggested them for pvp.

I wish somebody would post a ladder-possible build. If anybody has all that stuff in 1.11 yet, I seriously doubt they've slept more than two hours since reset and it's probably past due time for them to change out their colostomy bag.

Pougee_au has a rather cheap build for killing ubers quite easily (maybe except for the death zerker which can probably be replaced by another weapon). The godly gears listed here seems more suitable for the NL builds. Since im ladder, ill definitely start with Pougee's build.

[G-wig]

The gear you mentioned hear is all ideal for killing ubers.
The main problem with it is its all too ideal.People just starting ladder or D2 for that matter dont want to wait to get all the best gear in order to fight the ubers.
Let me suggest some budget gear that would be viable against the ubers
Helm: vampgaze/guillames
Armour: Duress 3 Socket Body Armor Shael + Um + Thul
Belt: thundergods vigor
Boots: Goreriders
Gloves: draculs grasp
Amulet:highlords wrath
Rings:Ravenfrost dwarf star
Shield:4 socket elite paladin with good resists 40+ if possible soketed with 4 pdiamond
Weapon:Grief if you can afford it otherwise Litesabre,Azurewrath,upped headstriker,bloodmoon,razors edge baranars etc
Including a grief you could accumulate this gear on current ladder for around 3-4 high runes.It may not be ideal but it should do the job against uber trist.
Any resist charms of all sizes would also be useful.

Kudos for your guide Baaja.You have provided a with a guide with the best of what there is available for fighting ubers much of which Im using myself.I just thought Id try and help some of those without means to access this gear.

Btw

Then to add a whole other spice to the mix I would get a Holy Freeze mercenary with a Pride Ethereal Cryptic Axe or a Collosus Voulge (which gives Lvl 18 Conc),

Pride gives lvl16-20 Concentration aura
