Build Overview

This is a Smith of Kitava build originating from the Chinese playerbase. It's a unique spin on the class, using a variety of Unique items to create a strong build for both mapping and bossing. While the build does not have a high ceiling, it's an affordable entry point to a decent speed mapper and decent bossing damage.

The build uses Rake and Stomping Ground as the main map clear. Many Huntress leveling builds use this setup, but the build often falls off in endgame.

With Smith of Kitava, we have access to better Strength scaling, such as Support Straps and simply better Passive Tree starting placement.

The centerpiece of the build uses The Deepest Tower as the main way to scale the damage of Stomping Ground. The build doesn't care about the damage from Rake itself, it simply is used to trigger Stomping Ground.

Lastly, for single-target, we use Ancestral Warrior Totem with Rolling Slam on the Weapon Swap.

Build Variants

For a Leveling Setup, you can use the Slam/Boneshatter Setup

Once you reach a high level and buy/find the core unique items, you can swap to this setup.

Notes

  • Venom A3: Stun Threshold / Ailment Threshold
  • Venom A6: Chaos Resistance

Map Modifiers that increase monster HP or Energy Shield can make the build feel more clunky to play.

Weapons

Skysliver - Used for High Attack Speed and Low Dex Requirement. "Rolls minimum or maximum damage value" is also nice, but not a necessity.Soul Core of Atmohua is used to reduce the Dex requirement to 24, which is multiplied to 72 with Giant's Blood.

Dual Wield Maces Set 2: +7 to Level of all Melee Skills

The Bossing Setup uses two Maces with +Level to Melee Skills. +7 is ideal, but +6 is perfectly fine for map bosses and T0-3 Pinnacles.

Greater Rune of Alacrity is used 4 times for Skill Speed which affects Ancestral Warrior Totem.

Armour Uniques

The Deepest Tower - Required for the build. This Unique provides scaling damage on the passive tree that usually would not be accessible to the build. Without this, the build does not have enough damage to map comfortably.

Infernoclasp - Not technically required, but highly recommended. It's an affordable piece that greatly increases survivability. +5 Max Fire Res to combine with Forged in Flame.

Trampletoe - Also optional unique, but allows for better mapping. The Overkill damage combined with Herald of Ash leads to satisfying map pops.

Body Armour

Corrupted Normal Rarity Ornate Plate for three sockets. Make sure to max out to 20% Quality before corrupting. Try to find one with as close to 2.5% Life Regen as possible.

Shield

Look for generic defensive modifiers like Life/Strength/Fire Resistance. You can also roll Max Fire Resistance.

Rise of the Phoenix can also be used. If you have a high budget, you can use Chernobog's Pillar for more damage, but this is a 30+ div item.

Gloves

The Gloves are a fairly standard piece. Look for Life, Resistances, Strength, and Armour.

+ to Level of all Melee Skills is also a nice boost for single target Ancestral Warrior Totem damage.

Amulet

Basically the same thing as gloves. Look for generically good modifiers, including + to Level of all Melee Skills, increased Maximum Life, other Attributes for gem/weapon requirements, etc.

Rings

Generically good mods: Flat Physical Damage, Life, Resistances, Attributes, etc.

Notes

  • Prioritize Fire Resistance over Cold/Lightning. Gettting Fire Res up to 200% synergizes with Coal Stoker and Forged in Flame to cap all Ele Resistances.

Mapping

Use Rake to pop monsters with Stomping Ground and see the screen explode.

Weapon Set 2 - Single Target

Set Ancestral Warrior Totem to Set 2 to use with your +Level Maces. If you have a second Ancestral Warrior Totem with Overabundance, you can have one extra totem, but with half the duration.

It's a minor upgrade, but something you can do if you want to.

  • Use Voltaic Mark with Single Out to Armour Break Bosses.
  • Use Resonating Shield to generate Rage.
