Wait...Smiting?
Yeah. My main character is a smiting monk. And I don't mean the smiter from the 600/smite build. I mean someone who uses Castigation Signet, Smite, and Word of Censure. The kind of monk who never got over pre-searing, when smiting worked well. This is designed to be a guide to Smiting Prayers, the smite monk mentality, and any skills with good smiting synergy.

Smiting Prayers Skills
This section is devoted to an in-depth look at every Smiting Prayers skill in the game. I'll show you the skill, its description, and my comments and notes about it.

Balthazar's Aura


25 2 25

Enchantment Spell. For 8 seconds, foes adjacent to target ally take 10...22 holy damage each second.

A very handy skill to scatter enemies off of yourself or another ally in danger, but that's about it. The cost and cast time is too high for this to see frequent use.

Balthazar's Spirit


-1 10 2

While you maintain this enchantment, target ally gains 2...4 adrenaline and 1 Energy after taking damage.

This skill is maily used for bonders and in farming builds. Balthazar's Spirit is essentially unlinked, as the only thing that scales is the amount of adrenaline gained. Not much use for general PvE or PvP. NOTE: I put in the numbers for the adrenaline and Energy gain
