 * Sure, Smiters were popular, but they were balanced with Resto Xinrae's Weapon, Vengeful Weapon and Weapon of Remedy Rits. They nerfed the skills to oblivion for PvP; they could have just increased the recharge to 20 seconds, reduced the duration to the same, and increase the casting time to 2 seconds. This seems like a joke, unless they planned a revert ahead of time. Maybe it's for upcoming tournaments or the double HA weekend? ــѕт.  мıкε  21:02, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * If they'd have changed any one of these 3 stats it would put the standard build out of play. Why all three?  You're right, looks like a joke. I've accepted every update quietly for 3 years, and this is the most ridiculous I've seen. Why didn't they just delete the skill?

 * Ya This has to be the biggest PvP nerf in history, ROFL! I DARE anyone to find a bigger nerf --ilr
 * Hence it being your sig :P --Gimmethegepgun 21:18, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * The nerf is too extreme to be permanent, tbh. ــѕт.  мıкε  21:19, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Updates are for skill "balance" not skill removal... this is ubber failure. Big Bow 21:23, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Hell, why did they stop there? Why not go the whole hog? Add a 5 second casting time, 17% sac, change it to 1.5x the DF bonus, and add a "This enchantment ends if you use a non-Smiting Prayers ally-affecting skill" clause. Seriously, what the hell was the point of this? Methnor 21:30, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Oops
I thought it said "or," not "and." Sorry Mike. 21:26, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Someone just said Assassin's Promise. I think we've found our way to get around the nerf. /sarcasm ــѕт.  мıкε  21:29, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I was also going to remove the note anyway, I just thought I'd let people know how utterly useless it is in PvP. XD ــѕт.  мıкε  21:30, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

i lold when i say the update--24.84.110.200 21:31, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Hahaha, what the hell? --GW-RM 21:39, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow, what ridiculous gimmick build required changing it from 300% of the recharge to 6%?[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  21:47, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Makes Smiting worthwhile seems to be the approximate reasoning.[[Image:Entrea Sumatae.png|Entrea Sumatae]] Entrea   [Talk]  22:00, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
