End line wraths

Smite Evil.. good to get or not for a full time OTing paladin that wants all the hate he can get.  If yes then how good, i.e. only good on 50% of fights or something? etc

and while we're add it i pose the same question with Reflect, the end ability in the KoS int line.

Smite Evil yes, reflect no. Smite Evil works for me on most mobs, epic, heroic and solo. I've never used reflect so I can't say first hand how good or bad it is but from the description it sounds pretty crappy.

Smite Evil is the hottest ability a Paladin has after amends, imo.

Smite Evil pretty much rocks. Works on almost all mobs, does 2-3k damage to each mob and uses no power. casting time is a bit long so u can get some interrupts. but definetly a must have for a pally that goes for DPS
