@@GGMentor thank you for always breaking down game mechanics bro. You were needed in 2000 lol big time cause I can honestly say so many things didn’t make sense when the game launched
Thanks for your great D2 content GGM! Smite is the most broken crap ever, but so many people rely on it that it'll never be nerfed! Personally I don't know how I would've beaten Lilith alone without it. That (broken-ass) situation aside, I think Smite is just too powerful. So I propose this: let's see Bash and Stun get uninterruptable/unblockable/ignore defense status, if anyone deserves this it's the Barb!
Very nice idea of a serie, i would like to see you do one regarding Corpse Explosion. ITs a powerful zkill as we all now both used by necros and assassins although in another form. As always i will stay watching and liking your content. Have a great day and be safe out there.
I've been meaning to suggest a series on character builds with only budget gear and/or equipping not the hardest uniques to find. It'd be nice to see if a werewolf or werebear summoner Druid is viable without expensive runewords, for example. Also which builds could run Uber Tristram on a budget.
You didn't talk about aura interactions with smite. Also, does the increased damage on butcher's pupil work or not. Since it is cannot be destroyed, it might be pretty good with smite.
I actually managed to kill some physical immunes in Hell Difficulty with an Oath weapon by smiting them, causing the Bone Spirit to trigger and hit them, and continued until they finally died.
Just started building Paladin fr the first time a week ago or so, one in ladder, and one that i had made about one month after launch, because of the sheer amount of cool paladin items i found 🤣 I already did the non ladder quite easily, because of the good gear reay to serve, but the ladder one is a bit lacking at the moment... The ladder one was holy fire with charge through normal, because i found a kinemil and a hexfire on my ladder amazon, and that was no issue, save for a Mr Dibablo who seemed a bit obstinate :) Went well through NM for a good while, kept building holy shield and smite, and then defiance for the defense buff. Plan was to make a Uberslayer, so i could finally rack up a few anni's in the near future. When the skill functions, everything is easy peasy, but a lot of times, i find that both charge and smite, often just bug out? Maybe im doing something wrong, but the stuns and knockbacks often just don't happen. Is there a minimum distance which you need to be away off your target? Usually when it doesn't work im nose to nose with some monster...
You said that enhanced damage on the weapon does not work with smite. What about socket the shield and add a ohm rune? My guess is it wont work but would rather not experiment with my ohm rune?
@@GGMentor ok so socket the shield add a ohm rune and I will be doing more damage. Awesome thanks I had one socket quest left and don't want to waste it.
@@GGMentor I guess I was paranoid so I took a regular socketed shield then in the character screen looked at my smite damage I then placed a 9% enhanced damage jewel in it while watching my smite damage and it did not change. Is it like grief where you wont see the increase?
Sorry I'm such an annoying douche about blade fury Mr.Mentor... I'm on xbox so I've no way of making my feelings known on ptr, I'm basically canvassing for ar changes because it's a wonderful but sadly crippled build and no one seems to care or cover it like so many other builds. It's almost universally maligned and yet I think shes better than the bowa at her job in a lot of ways. I just wish the dev's would listen to the long term players, the damage buff while wonderful has never been her main problem. Blessed aim, cloak, charms, d limb, go a long way but yeah. I really dont like sacrificing my might and pride, my hilords, my belt and boots. You know how is homie. I'm just out here lookin out for my girl 😘
@@GGMentor true but technically she has it too :) and you have a multitude of ways to get that hit. I do have a question how feasible is it to have might, concentration and fanaticism (with the help of your merc) all running at same time and the damage output that would have on smite?
@@GGMentor right! Would the damage be nuts or not worth the effort? I see there is a runeword for the merc that can add the concentration (seems expensive)
Smite itself is a single target ability and no it will not hit multiple enemies. However, smite can be used to proc other effects. Like, for instance, on the carrion wind ring, there is a twister which will come out that will stun enemies for a short period of time. There are potentially other ways that you could stun enemies like freezes target. So while no, it is not possible to specifically target multiple enemies with the skill. You could theoretically set up ways to dish out large amounts of crowd control using proccing effects
not sure if it was mentioned. freeze target can be applied to smite. which cancels out
knockback
Great observation.
I did mention freezes target works with smite, forgot to mention it cancels the knockback though.
@@GGMentor well the freeze duration is to short to really feel it, but now and then you get a few hits more
Does that freeze target + knockback cancel work on other skills / characters?

Lol sounds good to me
Honestly your video was more informative than I expected. Thank you buddy!
Currently using an eth sacred targe with +33res on my Exile. Also have an upped eth HoZ on swap. Both seem to work well. Great vid!

You have a great day too Anders
Actually missed this one, but love when cover lesser known effects within skills\items themselves very informative As Always 👏👍👏

You could say charged strike also always hits so the lass has 3 of the 4.

i just tested and both Might and Concentration auras work with Smite, so Act 2 Merc with Might and Pride works well, while u run Fanaticism
I actually managed to kill some physical immunes in Hell Difficulty with an Oath weapon by smiting them, causing the Bone Spirit to trigger and hit them, and continued until they finally died.
Lol determination
Yea, that must've taken awhile. lol
@@aaronburdon221 Yes. But the fact that they get stunned and knocked back does help.
Guided Arrow next sir. With history of nerfs and such? Used to rush people in Hell with my zon b/c it was faster than blizz/orb sorc.
Hi, thank you for great content. Would like to see one about "Impale" and "Slow missiles"
Hands down the complete guide to smite!
Barbarian's concentrate skill can't be interrupted. Maybe I'm behind on the patches

i think Smite is more equipment dependent. Im having some difficulties to surve at lvl67 with no good equipments.
U the best, GGM
so On weapon ed doesNOT work but off weapon ed DOES work?
Yes
I've always pronounced it Ron-Dash yours is more classy I like it
Lol
You said that enhanced damage on the weapon does not work with smite. What about socket the shield and add a ohm rune? My guess is it wont work but would rather not experiment with my ohm rune?
Enhanced damage on off weapon sources is called off weapon ED. Off weapon ED does work with smite it's the same effect as fanaticism or concentration
@@GGMentor ok so socket the shield add a ohm rune and I will be doing more damage. Awesome thanks I had one socket quest left and don't want to waste it.

How are hammers not on this list?? 2 OP?
You missed one, the assassin technically can always hit also
Sort of, because the assassin has to build a. Charge first which does require attack rating to obtain the effect its not quite the same
@@GGMentor true but technically she has it too :) and you have a multitude of ways to get that hit.
I do have a question how feasible is it to have might, concentration and fanaticism (with the help of your merc) all running at same time and the damage output that would have on smite?
@@kristopherleslie8343 ideally in that situation you would want fanaticism on yourself, and concentration on your Merc.
@@GGMentor right! Would the damage be nuts or not worth the effort? I see there is a runeword for the merc that can add the concentration (seems expensive)
i mean why not put grief dracul and the other gg stuff for a smiter build if you want show a smiter vidio right
I saw smite works as aoe stun in some videos....i tryed also in ressurected but is single target only
Smite itself is a single target ability and no it will not hit multiple enemies.
