[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7592439, member: 20564"] Heck, I've often used Smite spells and Divine Smite when I wanted to deal out damage quick. But really, for low level slots the damage bonus of that extra die makes Divine Smite the better damage dealer. Both (a) most play happens 1-10 and (b) focus firing to inflict the "dead" condition are helped by this, we often see the damage as more worthwhile. But the riders on [B][I]some[/I][/B] of the smite spells are fantastic. If you're overwhelmed as tank and you fear someone off, grat. Or off dealing with someone by yourself and the damage difference between a Smite spell and a Divine Smite isn't going to drop them [I]this[/I] round but a condition can sure make you a happier camper - those are when the Smite spells are worth it. I unfortunately see players get into the rut of just using Divine Smite and they don't use the Smite spells at times when there would be a big advantage from doing so. [/QUOTE]
