Stormlash is, indeed, a very nice weapon against any high life boss. It's fast, has a range of 3 (only matched by a Berserker Axe), the 33% chance of a crushing blow is very nice indeed, and the 15% chance to cast Static Field is awesome. There's a catch, of course, being the even higher chance to cast Tornado, which will be cast about once per second, interrupting your fury of Smites.
But Crushing blow is definatly the way to go, I killed Über Baal in 19 seconds with my Smiter, in a 6 or 7 player game, with no godly items what so ever. I was using the following:
Helm: Guillaume's Face
Weapon: Black Scourge
Armor: Duress Archon Plate
Shield: Rhyme Zakarum Shield
Gloves: Magnus' Skin
Belt: Verdungo's Hearty Cord
Boots: Gore Riders
This gives me a total of 100% crushing blow, with a 6 frame attack speed. Or in shorter terms, I trigger a crushing blow 4 times per second, guaranteed, with the first hit knocking of over 100'000 hit points.
