Smite Toucher (Mo/W)
-----------------------
Smiting - 12 + 1 + 3 [16]
Tactics - 12 [12]
-----------------------
Alright, this build I made mostly for Anti-Tanks, and occasionally to interrupt casters' spells. (Such as MS.)

How to Use:
---------------------
When you get in, cast and maintain BS and Retribution. Once you find a target (I prefer caster-type, because they stand still more often) get right next to them and use Signet of Judgement immediately followed for Stonesoul Strike, and, if you want, Smite (for the added damage.) And, while waiting for recharge, go around and Smite any tanks/sins/dervs you see that are attacking. Once Sig of Judgement fully recharges, repeat the process.

Variants:
------------
Your choice, really.

Fast Cast Smiter (Me/Mo)
-----------------------------
Smiting: 12 [12]
Fast Casting: 12 + 1 + 2 [15]
??? : ??? [??]
-----------------------------
This build I thought of just this morning, haven't tested it, but I can see how it would work.

I wont put in images, but I will tell you what skills I think I'll use.

Signet of Judgement
Stonesoul Striker
Holy Strike
^^^^^
These three skills are the basis of this build, and with Fast Casting, you should be able to get both of the strikes in while he/she's still KD.

(I will Edit this section after I test this build)

This build does very minimal damage and have very minimal utility/movement. The defense is also pretty horrible against casters. And using signet of judgment to interrupt skills is just...lol

Yeah, seems like this build is nothing more than a minor annoyance. It tries to do too much and ends up not being good at anything.

You could replace Purge conditions with [skill=text]Mending Touch[/skill]. And btw with no solid self heal or kiting capability, you would die very very quickly. [skill=text]Shield of Judgment[/skill] may be better than Signet of Judgement. Personally, I wouldn't play a smiter in AB unless I've got a specialized team with more than one smiter and a healing/prot monk.

I know a good variant. A WHOLE NEW BUILD. This is terrible. The damage is low, people will kill you before you get any use out of Balth's Spirit and Retribution, and if people even DO attack you, it'll be for fun...because this build will get stomped all over by casters (which make up a LOT of the numbers in AB...like Shrines).

I vote a whole new build. Like a monk build that actually HELPS people. This wouldn't even get you in teams.

i might be wrong about this but im pretty sure the mesmer idea wont work either, as fast casting only affecs spells, and holy strike and stonesoul are both skills...

Fast casting now affects signets though so I've seen a mesmer trying out bane signet and signet of judgment as free interrupts along with mantra of inscriptions. It's a rather poor use of an elite since there are other things that would work better as elites. Personally, I'm considering playing around with bane signet since I normally bring along signet of humility on my mesmer for pvp but it's not really a high priority.
