Diablo 2 LOD Character Set-Up Guide - Smiter Paladin

This is the second page of the paladin section of my geplete Character Set-Up Guide in okay.
This time, Ishare with you the most godly PVPsmiter paladin.
Same as before, I use summary format to describe all the details, (1) basic information, (2) stats distribution, (3) skill allocation, (4) gear requirements, (5) inventory, (6) hirelings and (7) Few Strategic Advices
(1) Basic Information
Smiter Paladin has been well recognized by majority of professional players as the best character to do PVP (to duel with other player) and to kill bosses, clone and ubers. It is such a strong PVP character in new patch 1.11. No one will say NO to his dueling power!
Smiter Paladin has high damage and defense. His attack cannot be blocked. He cannot be dodged (some people may argue at this point but many of my friends has tested this) Few people hates it only because it is too costly to set up a good one!
(2) Stats Distribution

Strength: Around 150 points on strengths.Strength increases smite damage. Around 150 points invest on strength before equipping with any gear is good enough unless you want to use a two-ber Crown of ages.
Dexterity: To achieve 75% faster block rate, smiter paladin must have about 120 points on dexterity before wearing any gear. That makes him good at doing blocking and achieve higher attack rating.
Energy: None.Withloads of faster hit recoverycharms and potions in the inventory, you don't need to invest any skill point here.
Vitality: At least 160 pointshere. Smiter Paladin deals with monsters and attackers face to face so he needs to have a lot of vitality to remain alive when attacking and defending.
(3) Skills Allocation

Smite = 20 (before any skill point added by your gear)
Holy Shield = 20 (Ditto)
Defiance= 20 (Ditto)
Fanaticism= 20 (Ditto)
Zeal = 5 points
Sacrifice = 5 points
Pre-Requisite skills = 1 on might, blessed aim, concentration, charge, holy bolt, blessed hammer
Remaining skill points to be allocated based on your preference among zeal, sacrifice, redemption
(4) Gears Requirements (Best Options)

Helm - 40/15ias shako,Ber'ed Shakoor 2xber crown of ages (If you are willing to invest 24 more on strengths on your character, you can use 2xber crown of ages)

Armor - Enigma Archon Plate, Duress Sacred Armor (base defense with +15% enhanced defense) orUp'd ethereal guardian angel armor (socketed with zod rune) You only need to switch to the guardian angel armor in town when you have encountered elemental-immune bosses or magic-casting characters in few circumstances. Enigma and Duress are the best options.
Weapon- First weapon for switch: Grief runeword Phase Blade (fordueling -pvp) and Last Wish Runeword Zerker (for killing uber)(choosing grief and last wish is because of his target's defense) andSecond weapon for switch: one 4/6/3 call-to-arms runeword flail/crystal sword or the best 4/6/3CTA scepter with +3 to holy shield(BUT the battle order level must be +6)
