600hp Rt/Mo Vengeful Tanker - Dual HM farming with Spell Breaker Monk.

Works great.



Worth noting, since this is the "guide" is that the smiter monk can have 2 headpieces. The divine favor one to wear all the time, and a smiting one to wear only while casting retribution and holy wrath. Since the AL for the smiting one doesnt matter (since you'll only wear it when you initially cast the smiting spells) it is only a 20g investment, and worth every penny. Just another way to squeeze out a few extra damage on the bad guys!

Of course, this only works when the smiter is a real person, and not a hero.

600hp only allows 19 damage from Retribution (60 x .33 = 19.8), and 39 from Holy Wrath (60 x .66 = 39.6) . So there really no sense in having 16 Smiting, you really only need 14 in Smiting to get the max damage out of them with 600hp. But of course if you get Morale you could dish out a few more damage. You would need around 650hp to get the max damage out of Retribution at 16 Smiting, and 800hp for Holy Wrath. So there really isn't any need for switching head pieces. Divine Favor at 15-16 is best for the Smiter monk. But of course 16 smiting would be useful if you were to use other smiting skills, but that really wouldn't be the case in Dual Farming with SB Monk... unless you were to use SoJ instead of Spell Breaker.



But I do understand what you mean, even though you didn't necessarily clearify. Of course you could lower your Smiting for something else and then use a Smiting Headpiece to cast on Smiting skills, but you really don't need too ulness you want to max your Illusion for Illusion of Weakness... not quite sure how that would work out though.
