Great guide and I admire your persistance and endurance to write such a long, and still interesting guide. However, there are some things that have to be pointed out:

1) ... cyclone armor laughs at your FoH... hehe... Wind druids won't be very easy to win against.

2)FoH'ers... You seem to have dueled a lot of newbs here. My FoH'er, now deleted and traded had a 5sock caduceus, +3 conviction +3 FoH, with 5*5-5 Lightning facets. Perfect Griffon's with 5-5 Lightning facet and Exile. Conviction wasnt even near maxed, for the +skills giving it already the 150% caps. FoH dealing 8K+ damage and over 3K life + maxed block. Now the maxed block doesn't do anything good against your class, but ok. 1 point in fana, 1 in smite as the pre-req for Holy shield, maxed Holy shield, rest in defiance. Over 35K defence, which doesn't work against your class either, but ok:P. So, to start with I reduce your resist with 150%. No problem, your 4 Lo'ed shield, which gives +20% max lightning resist and some lightning resist (inherent resistances) maxed this out, combined with dual wisp, t-gods. I won't have a chance, but the same thing goes for you, so now we have to smite. Also you've stated smiters as noobs, while your build is simply Smiter and rest in FoH instead of Defiance/Charge. So now you have to use your n00b smite style against my n00b smite style. Hmm... what now... your charge won't hit me because I'm an Exile-n00b and you can't switch to angelic because you need dual wisp. Second I will use my ShaelUmTir (Crescent Moon) Phase blade. Because you need insane pre-buffing for my FoH your smite would be weak and I would still win.

3)Hammerdins own you, even if they DO teleport on you. I've never played a Hammerdin myself but I've dueled enough to know. They just spam hammerfields and have insane life. FoH = lol against them since the cast takes too long and does no dmg.

4) Zons can also throw their javelins, keep that in mind

. That's about all I got to say, don't feel offended by what I've said, it's all just pure my opinion.

1) i beg to differ wind druid are ez they are defensive players to the v/t foh was never meant to penetrate cyclone but to pick off oak in correct conditions, this is the point i was trying to make.

2) hence the 1 point into lighting resist aura convition is put to a haly, a 2 Lo'ed/2 ptopazed shield with tgods makes a mockery of fohers the damg becomes so miniscule as well as other facets and such, in any case a FoH'er is a nOOb class requiring no skill. when it comes down to ur smite senario, a v/t smite will be insanely higher i have acheived 2.6k with a regular HoZ i estimate around 2.4k smite with an elite class 2 Lo/2 ptopaz elite pally shield, no way in hell a foher with 1 into smite and fanat will hurt a V/t

3) your preception is wrong i have done this many times, it comes down to experience and reactions, like nce you see his concentration drop he is most likely to teleport to u hence the stop and smite his ass in 1 sec, if he manages to tele hammer you with out concentration on a continued onslaught will disprove your hypothesis. I have done this many times and left many noobs smoking(dont forget about FoH). Make a hammer din on west/non-ladder i will prove you wrong.

4) Are you going to let something hit you? besides this fact the zon will be a an EXTREME disadvantage to how smite works and the max fps CS goes at(speed- smite is faster than CS and knocks back)

ty for comments but if you have read the guide throughly is a priciple explained, it seems if you did not you wouldnt have asked these questions, i have dueled against of the best people in west including private dueling for about 2yrs now, i know what im talking about. If i were to go a lil more in depth it would get to long and boring to read, so i laid out the BASIC principles on winning and certain conditions worth mentioning as well as common occurances.
