How do you survive Kaalut as a smiter?

[Dante]

@Lucid: Is this acid injector curse full affecting on bosses? Never tried it on bosses.

[Lucid]

im not sure if it works vs lichking for example. I know he is immune to curses. Probably this is the weakness of acid injector.

but vs dreamland bosses it seems to be fully effective. I kill those guys there with my summoner druid xD

edit: tryed a litte bit around in dreamlands

inject acid reduces the physical resistances of Kaluut, shaaa und othuyeg pretty well. At least it lowers it so far, that my summoner druid is able to kill one of them in the period of 3-4 injects.
(which feels pretty much, compared to what damage it does to normal hell mobs xD)

inject acid does not pierce the immunity of mappo tho... I dont know if its not able to pierce at all or if its capped in some way, like amp is (-100% physical res. max and 1/5 penalty on immunes).

would be nice to know :O

Should i reroll and max out Conviction instead of Fant?

u dont have to max out conv, just put points needed to go to -150 rez, and keep ur fanat lvl 20

[thessarill]

-150 res fully gear. Mostly you'll need like 4 points to reach the cap wich is 25 points.

Still stuck on what I should use for armor. Running Knarst's Ribcage at the moment which is FINE for Dreamlands, but god awful for uber trist due to the random teleports. My current build:

Frostmourne ber ber mal
Herald Of Zak
Knarst's with 3x mark of the dragonslayer jewels
Scourgelord's Girdle
Treads of Valusia
Divinity
Devil's Bargain

Any suggestions or changes peeps?

In other news: I feel that an act 3 merc is better than act 1.:
Knarst's Ribcage (he doesn't die..just teleports away when hit)
Bulwark
Focus
Sss'HAA's Primordial Fang (the aura this sword gives is INSANELY good for a smiter)

[Lucid]

as for an armor advice you can either run Enigma (i do so) but thats not the big toughness or damage. Just teleport

or a standart fortitude/CoH

or what works very good for survival is a arcaines valor

ofcourse best thing is probably full cow set :3

Why dont u use odium?
Btw deadly strike and ar is useless on smiter, so drag jewel is too (maybe deadly strike works on sindragosa idk, but not on smite anyway)
these boots, why ?

Not a fan of odium. It doesn't add anything other than teleport in my honest opinion. I'll yank the dragon jewels, didn't know that CS doesn't work for smiters. I like the boots for the burst of speed and the fact that the str bonus adds damage to smite, I suppose that I can swap them out after casting it for gore riders? I was running full cow set, but kept dying because of the lack of life on hit (no pally prime charm and I'm running Devil's bargain pretty much just for the life on hit mod).
