Why this build?: Aura/Smite build is a well rounded for pub duels and fast pvm. Also it has the potential to 1v1 duel and win in a high ratio with using smite skills. Specially when aura gets sorbed smite is a way to go.

Why not Dragon? Why Dream?: Well it's still a personal decision but in order to use smite along with the aura *Grief is a must, which makes you give up on *Hoj. Also dream's pulse dmg is higher than dragon's pulse dmg. But also notice dragon's radius is 3 screens when dream is 2.

What kind of build exactly?:

Now let's take a look at the stats first.

Str: Kinda up to your decision according to torch/anni/rings/ammy. I didn't put any points.
Dex: With torch,anni,ammy etc when holy shield is used put enough points till 75% block. *I recommand to leave 10 points free because later on as you lvl your block rate will go down. *I do not stat dex with rings because of sorb rings.
Vit: Rest of the points goes here.

Skills are your bullets.

Resist lightning: Main bonus pulse dmg for dream's holy shock aura. 20 points is a must.
Salvation: Second bonus pulse dmg for dream's holy shock aura. 10 or 20 points. *Other 10 points can be add to Fanaticism for higher smite dmg.
Conviction: Your goal is to reach no more than lvl 25 because it won't do any much more effects after that. *When against another convic user, higher convic lvl will cancel out the lower convic. You can prevent this by using offensive gcs.
Defiance: 1 point for extra bit of defense.
Smite: 1 point only.
Holy freeze: For changing into a smite position.
Fanaticism: Rest of the points should go here.

Gear "perfect the better."

Ring: 2x bk,2x 20dex raven,2x dwarf,2x wisp.
Ammy: Maras, gneck, slipper.
Weapon: 40ias griefz has more reach but I chosed pb because of smite speed which needs more points to fanaticism. But 20ias glove should cover this no problem.
Shield: Dream sacred targe. *vortex for more dmg but less block rate.
Helm: Dreambv. *I try to find grand crown or corona for better image - _-.
Armor: Mp,gp enigma.
Belt: Dungo,tgod,snowclash.
Glove: Drac,20ias crafted.
Boots: Wwalk,bitter brogues,sshank,sspur. *Dex is important than str.
Swap: Cta,pally spirit.
Inv: Pcombs,offensives,life/res scs,torch,anni. *Offensive gcs should be used when against convic user.

Duel Tips.

*Charge/convic is a must 70% of the duels.
*Charge/holy freeze->charge/convic is a key to avoid chargers.
*Charge/holy freeze->Smite/fanaticism is a key to slow them down to tank in 30% of the duels.
*Tele is to avoid for bone wall or stomped.

Bvc,ww sin: First ww sin's are quite easy. Slap on 2xwisps and tgod. Charge/convic to do some pulse dmg. At 50% to finish it off with charging in. Because of grief's +dmg, turning on fanaticism is not necessary. Bvc are quite difficult than ww sin. Their high life,grief+beast combo and specially ww are very threatening due to aura/smite weakness: low def. My advise is charge/holy freeze->charge/convic around, never stay on the ground spot because they'll tele ww. But because their tele is slow to catch up for your charge speed. When they're near 70% life, press r to walk/block and engage holy freeze and get a chance to smite them. *Drac is a key point for their high life.
Sorc: Fire.light sorc are to be put on sorb gears and charge on to them as like vs ww sin. Specially against light sorc, charge/resist lightning is a way to tank in. Blizz on the other hand are quite difficult. Their -cold res can be deadly to you with 2~3 blizz. My solution? charge/convic in and out to break their life away if you're pro at hit and run it's most likely 50:50 situation unless they're using bmana.
Ele,hdin,bone nec: Ele druid's summon can be easily dead by pulse dmg. When they try to resummon them just charge in. Hdin,bone nec can be tough if hdin knows HOW to desync and bone nec knows HOW to bone wall, My advice is don't hesitate to use tele to make them come to you. Keep charge/convic/tele to take their life away. Again this is an 50:50 because they'll kill you if you try to smite in. *Try to stay at northwest ground 'cause hammers spin from southeast.
Zeal,bowa,java,foh etc: Most easy duel. Sorb if necessary and for lightning dmg just turn on resist lightning and charge in. Zeal cannot win against smite, bowa cannot win against charge.
V/t: I say this is your most difficuly opponent. high dr,life and smite dmg. Their conviction is lower than yours so it will cancel out and won't do much of a foh dmg. But against their smite, charge/holy freeze->charge/convic around as much as possibble. Do not stay close to them but close enough to do pulse dmg. When they have low life but remember they have higher dr than you so you're life must be high enough to smite them to finish.

Will Edit errors if shown.

kind of stupid question

why build other pvp chars at all if you canz buildz a hammerdonkz and synchz

30% of hammerdonkz gets beat down by aura/smite 'cause they have no idea whar they're doing
