Default Which is a better Smite monk hero build?

This would be for Shards of Orr mainly, also please feel free to add in any other places that a smite monk hero would be really helpful

These are basically just a couple of builds I found while searching

[skill=text]Mantra of Inscriptions[/skill]
[skill=text]Signet of Judgment[/skill]
[skill=text]Reversal of Damage[/skill]
[skill=text]Bane Signet[/skill]
[skill=text]Castigation Signet[/skill]
[skill=text]Smite Hex[/skill]
[skill=text]Smite Condition[/skill]
[skill=text]Rebirth[/skill]
OwUTMU3C15BYSwroErvLh6LTAA

or
[skill=text]Bane Signet[/skill]
[skill=text]Shield of Judgment[/skill]
[skill=text]Holy Wrath[/skill]
[skill=text]Vital Blessing[/skill]
[skill=text]Life Attunement[/skill]
[skill=text]Retribution[/skill]
[skill=text]Smite Condition[/skill]
[skill=text]Rebirth[/skill]

I'd say the first build is more suitable for Shards of Orr. More damage dealing skills in that. [wiki]Ray of Judgement[/wiki] can be a good one too but the signet build outperforms RoJ alot.

The other one, well, Fendi will seriously mess up that person with ([wiki]Desecrate Enchantments[/wiki]) spam and anyone nearby. The less enchantments the better. The hero might be a little too busy with keeping the echantments up instead of fighting. That said it can work for some places though but i wouldn't take it to Shards.

edit: Forgot to add that you can use the signet build (your first build) nearly anywhere. It wont be optimal or very efficient but i'm sometimes using one smiter with me when vanquishing (along with mm&ss necro) - Just for fun. There's always a hex or conditions to smite. Though he can provide some healing with signets too (more benefits from Manta of Inscriptions).

It's a long way to get to Fendi though.

I am a primary monk myself & I think the 1st build is easy on the hero's AI. I haven't tried it yet but I am thinking of going in shards of orr bring 4 smite monks. I think ray of judgement will kickass in there as most of them are undead.

I've heard that myself, just take 4 heroes, load 'em up with Ray of Judgment, wander up until you're just out of aggro range, take a moment to appreciate the way the undead stand in such a beautifully tightly packed little group, then, SPIKEY SPIKEY!

Could probably just assign keys these says to make the heroes use Ray of Judgement...just press 1-2-3-4 to activate them almost all at the same time.

Yes, there is now a command whereby you can assign a key to force Hero <1-3> to use skill <1-8>. If you just assign keys 2, 3 and 4 to activate skill 1 (Ray of Judgment) for heros 1, 2 and 3, and set Ray of Judgment as your skill number 1, you can just press 1>2>3>4 to activate them all pretty quick I think...if you see what I mean.

It was only in a recent update, I think, probably on of the better buffs.

Its a long shot, but no recent updates that allow me to map keys to enemy numbers (for example "Put Name Here (1)" could be targeted by pressing one key)?
