the only thing about a low lvl smiter is, there are NO decent smite dmg shields available to a lvl 9, so, even if you do hit everytime, the stun length at that lvl is too small to make a difference, i'd go w/the sin or a bash barb... simply because you can get decent dmg weps, stick 1 or 2 points in a mastery for a small AR boost, and stick the rest into bash...i'd say mace mastery, use a morning star, only need to put 6 pnts to str to use it, no dex req, and 1h, so u can use a shield (for what limited help that provides) then you can deck out the vit, so yeah, that's my 2 cents...
