Talent improvement

• Surge of Light give you a chance on every spell critical to make your next smite spell instant cast, have no mana cost, but be incapable of a critical hit. Essential to a smiter build.
• Focused Power extra damage from all spells.
• Divine Fury reduces Smite cast time.
• Holy Reach increases the range of Smite.
• Searing Light increases Smite damage.

Tips and tactics

• Because Smite is a Holy spell, it is unaffected by player resistances, offering reliable damage against all players.
• With the three-piece-bonus from the Priest's Zul'Gurub set, Smite's range can be increased to 42 yds.
• Circle of Healing on a group almost guarantees a critical hit on a group member, giving a good chance for Surge of Light to proc.

Past changes

• Previously known as "Holy Smite". However, this was changed in Patch 0.12.
