Smite.... Melee or not melee?

[A|fzZz]

rolleyes:

I admit I lose occasionally, but Smiters definitely do not suck in pvp. The ones that suck are the ones that suck no matter what character their on because they don't know how to make it.

Most smiters now rely on weapons/gears... hardly anyone relies on skill anymore.

They just charge smite smite smite..<--wheres the skill needed

Against barbs

If both doesn't care about bm or gm, I flash Holy Freeze (No Holy Freeze if gm duel), which only lasts ~1.5 seconds. I then switch skill to teleport to teleport infront of his Ww direction or ontop of him, when I teleport ontop or in his path of Ww, I then switch back to Fanaticism and hold shift to smite him. If he moves away or Ww away I will have to repeat the process again. All the barb has to do is Ww in a direction away from where I teleport, so teleporting infront of him isn't a sure thing he will go through me. The barb then realizes what I'm doing so he never Ww through me. I then have to synch and charge infront of him while hes Ww-ing, risking chances of getting clipped. When I'm trying to desynch the Barb can also of been desynched and I get hit. It is a constant battle between who can get infront of who.

No I do not just stand there name lock and hold shift all day.

Against Sorceress

Sorceress have amazing fcr speed. I don't use AutoAim so I teleport around waiting for him to stand there a bit too long so I can charge at him. However once I begin to charge, he will then start teleporting away. This creates a sort of glitch for charge, where I charge very very slowly. Much like the Barbarian's glitch of Ww. When I'm in that glitch I am immobilized so whatever he throws at me I have to take it. So what I have to do is charge at her, if I see that she teleports away, I have to let go of my namelock and find another chance to get him. A good caster will have high block and damage, I have to play defensively and wait for her to stay in one spot for too long so I can charge into her safely.

No I don't just click on her and hold charge forever.

Against Bone Necros

Bone Necros' fcr bp is easily achievable. So they teleport extremely fast. Along with their summons or revives it is very hard to click on him. He also has bone armor which will absorb at least half a hit before it breaks. By that time he would of teleported away. Necros can constantly cast bonewall. I would then have to switch to teleport and teleport away only to find that more bonewalls are coming beneath me. I can then teleport ontop of him and start smiting. However his clay golem slows my ias quite a bit, he may also use decrepify which I will then be extremely slow. He can quite literally tank a couple of hits while the bone spirits from before come from behind me and I have to teleport or charge away from him. The charge glitch applies here. I can't namelock him and charge the whole time.

No I don't just click on him and charge.

Against Druids

A good druid has at least 6-7k damage. Along with 5 birds and 5 wolves. Those are the least of my worries. I must find my way through that and his tornadoes just to click on him, which then of course after one or two charges he teleports away. But before that I must find his Oak Sage. Which is always clustered with tornadoes. Even if I do kill the Oak he can easily teleport away while I namelock him. Causing the charge glitch again. He then re-summon the Oak Sage or Wolves that I killed. Only way is wait for him to be recasting or while hes using tornadoes and teleport behind him where hes not casting them and quickly smite or charge. Alternating between smite, teleport, and fanaticism. Thats three skills in approximately 1 second.

No I don't just click on him and football tackle him all day.

Against *Character Build Here*

Coming soon.

These strategies and techniques didn't take me 5 minutes to master.

i count [four] that beat me last season, and none of them were pubs. smiters usually lack the skill to actually be offensive enough to namelock a 51k lite sorc that never quits moving. if you're use/l/sc i can duel you, but i've only been back 2 weeks or so.

Probably is melee but considering that fact that it always hits and it uses no atr makes it non-melee. But otherwise, It is melee.

Then you know how challenging a Smiter is to use, not an easy click click. Keep in mind just because a person has a Smiter doesn't mean he doesn't have any other characters. Clicking on you is not a problem. Charging at you while your moving causes the glitch makes it difficult.

I'm in West sorry.
