treant, giant, or centaur smite?

[meat_mot]

Hey!I just got level 26 and I was wondering which smite some of you older, more worldy templars would suggest I take:Treant, Giant, or Centaur? This is my highest level character and I don't know what i'll be running into at higher levels.I would have been very sad if I'd picked orc smite instead of gnoll smite! hehe<span>:smileytongue:</span><div></div>

Giant...there are very few treants or centaurs outside TS or Nek./Zek...giants are EVERYWHERE!

<div></div>Giant is definitely the choice to pick.As for Orcs, don't count them out so easily... you'll see lots in your 30's if you go to Zek <span>:smileyhappy:On the other hand, you'll see lots of Gnolls in your 50's inside of DoF. <span>:smileywink:</span>I don't really see much hope for Centaurs, but I wonder if there will be any treants around EoF...  with Tunare coming back and such.  Sol Eye and EF/PF are giant havens though, so you can't go wrong with that.</span><div></div>

I agree with Ken on the Orcs thing. There's a lot more Orcs around than gnolls IMO, and we all know Faydwer will have Crushbone, so... I'd say orcs are probably in plenty. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Another choice that's completely non-obvious at mid-level is to take Golem mastery. I THINK it's in the same set as Goblin, and while most people take that (since runnyeye is frequented), at the high-end raiding, Golems make quite a resurgence in places like HoS (most mobs are golems there) and Lyceum (a fair number are golems). So if you plan on not raiding ultra-high-end, then get goblin, since you'll run into plenty of them, but if you do, golem may be the "long-term" choice.
