[zaiura]

shako (ptopazed for more mf)
mara's
fortitude armor (gosu dmg)
bk/raven
dungo's
astreon's (grief is BM)
marrowalks (for Life tap charges)
draculs
exile sacred targe

why would he use a Ptopaz'd shako pvp?

[Vile]

Umm...
Isn't life tap also considered BM?

[Nosferatu]

Maybe he wants to be BM....

astreon's (grief is BM)

I can't tell... =/

or do they?

Yeah life tap charges, but the Dracs kind of defeat the purpose of Marrowwalks. May as well stick with the traditional Gores.

But seeing as both dracs and Exile give life tap, you're BM'd out anyway.

Since when is Grief BM?

[Zarley]

I can't imagine anyone would cry that Grief is BM but allow you to lifetap them with dracs AND exile.

Grief is the absolute standard for PVP smiters. You should only use something else if you're dueling in a very specific league/circle that specifically forbids it. In pubby duels you should ALWAYS use Grief.

And Marrows, to boot.

Maybe grief is bm when in combination with lifetap?

[Nosferatu]

Nope, hes just drunk, high, or dumb.

Astreons/Ptopaz'd Shako/Marrows on Smiter?
Lol'd..

GriefPB or Z/BerBerCoA(or Ber'd Shako)/Gores imo

[Valdorin]

Why not look for a guide in the Paladin guide section? I-D's Smiter guide is really good if you want PvP or PvU (Uber). Life tap is bad manners, but if everyone else is being stupid and killing you with jump etc. go ahead and use it. Grief is'nt bad manners anyways. Why Ptopaz for magic finding? That's what you have Hammerdins or Sorceress' for. Use a Ber, Um, or Jah depending on your resistance level and damage reduction.
