Default [6MAN] Dual Smite Group

http://www.gwshack.us/885e9

Basic Dual Smite Build, the Warriors can be swapped out for any other melee characters, and WoH monk can be swapped for BLight.

Looks fairly solid to me. Would the Dragon Slasher be better as another Shock Warrior? What's the advantage over your standard W/E?

There's no advantage over the standard W/E, I just put it up there for show. Any melee build can swap out the W/E to mix it up.

True, I'm gonna change rush to sprint on the axe warrior. You could change WoS to WotP if you wanted to. I guess it would be pretty good.

Bull's charge swords tend to work better with smite, just because smite depends on keeping the target next to the warrior and bull's charge accomplishes that very well.

Not really any room for BC on the sword. Axe only needs 2 attacks for a nice spike, so theres room for a BC.

I've seen guilds run this with temple strike sins. That also does work quite well...granted they were a r10 guild, so I'm pretty sure everything would have worked well for them.

Tbh, temple strike sins are very good. I ran dual smite with one earlier, it was great. As I said earlier, you can use almost any melee build for this. But I think temple strike sins are one of the better.

Assassins are strong against bad teams, against good teams its pretty unlikely from my experience that you are going to get combos off because of wards/aegis etc...

There still good against good teams. It's more of a risk to bring them, but if they succesfully do a combo the outcome will be great.

Take out sun and moon, dragon, and rush on the sword. Put in Bull's charge, final thrust, and plague touch/teleport/shock/random utility.

Just FYI, Bull's Charge is elite.

I though I read Bull's Strike Anyways, I'd rather use a dragon slasher for the pressure. Of course a Bull's Charge warrior would work, I just prefer a Dragon Slash Warrior.

Well, IMO I've always found that bull's charge adds a lot more pressure with smite builds. The thing is that you can basically keep the person right next to you for the duration of bull's charge. This makes it so that you can time your bull's charge with the smiter's balth's, and keep at least 1 person in range for the entire duration including all the zealot's spammage.

Kiting is a great counter to smite. Bull's charge is a great counter to kiting.

True, but when there kiting they'll still be nearby. And if you have sprint/rush up, they'll take the full damage of the smiting. When attacking a target, get the axe warrior to kd then smites balths aura the 2 warriors. When kiting, the axe will BS them for another kd.

Me and my friend run dual smite with prot spirit on the monks and "Coward!" frenzy sins.

No capping/holding power whatsoever, but absolutely annnihilates in big mosh battles.
