This build can make use of practically any 5 smiters; just be sure to bring enough healing for the area you are in.

Any/Mo is generally acceptable, as well, at 12 smiting prayers (doing 1110 damage in 5 seconds + 700 from cry).

These work well for heroes (who use Signet of Lost Souls perfectly) and for players: Healer:
