This build has been archived as of No date specified, for the following reasons:

Not as universal as Sabway/Discordway
RoJ Fix

This build had been designed for the following use:

This build was in the category good before being archived.

Abuse Ray of Judgment for some smiting love combined with a tank-ish player to ball up aggro and blow stuff up. Highly effective in areas with undead enemies.

Composition

/ Smite Assist

/ Smite Protter

/ Smite Snarer

Smite Assist

<pvxbig> [build prof=Mo/any smi=12+1+1 div=12+1][Ray of Judgment][Castigation Signet][Reversal of Damage][Smite Condition][Divine Healing][Optional][Smiter's Boon][optional][/build] </pvxbig> 1st Option

Enfeebling Blood raise Curses to 6, decrease Divine to 11+1.
Shadow of Fear
Mark of Pain or Barbs if running physicals henchmen or teammates.
Splinter Weapon raise Channeling to 10, decrease Divine to 8+1.

2nd Option

Heaven's Delight
Smite Hex
Strength of Honor if running 2+ melee characters
A resurrection skill

Smite Protter

<pvxbig> [build prof=Mo/E smi=12+1+1 div=9+1 prot=9+1][Ray of Judgment][Castigation Signet][Protective Spirit][Aegis][Smite Hex][Optional][Glyph of Lesser Energy][Optional][/build] </pvxbig> 1st Option

2nd Option

Guardian
Shield of Absorption
A resurrection skill

Smite Snarer

<pvxbig> [build prof=Mo/x smi=12+1+1 div=12+1][Ray of Judgment][Castigation Signet][Reversal of Damage][Smite Condition][Divine Healing][Optional][Smiter's Boon][optional][/build] </pvxbig> 1st Option

2nd Option

Usage

Set heroes to Guard and let them do the job.
Optionally, disable RoJ and manual it.
Aggro and tank the mob while your heroes blow it up.

Equipment

The best equipment for each hero would be a 40/40 smite set.

Three of these can easily be crafted by Gertrud in Vasburg Armory or Telamon in Leviathan Pits.
Droknar's Smiting Scepter and Droknar's Focus could also be used.
Farrer will craft a 20/20 smiting offhand for 5 Azure Crests and many weaponcrafters can make adequate smiting rods; however, no crafter makes a perfect 20/20 smiting rod (you may have to settle for a HSR rod if you don't have enough money to craft one or buy the mods yourself)

Notes

This build works best with 2 players and 6 heroes (all using RoJ); however, it can work just as well with heroes and henchmen.
The damage caused by RoJ is armor-ignoring holy damage and is very useful in HM.

-==The Rest==
+== Notes ==
+*This build works best with 2 players and 6 heroes (all using RoJ); however, it can work just as well with heroes and henchmen.
-* Fill in with at least 1 melee (hench or a human). The best would be an Earthshaker Warrior or a Dervish. You can either add more monks for more protection or an elementalist or two for more damage. Be careful, however, as Ray of Judgment doesn't cause scatter, but most of the Elementalist Henchmen spells do. Pick your team wisely. Alternatively, get one more of Smite Monk or Anti-Hexer. In corpse-heavy areas, you may use two Minion Masters.
+*The damage caused by [[gww:Ray of Judgment|RoJ]] is armor-ignoring holy damage and is very useful in [[gww:Hard Mode|HM]].
