I’m bored, so, resurrection time.
I do not PvP so… in a PvE perspective;
A Pally with maxed Smite/synergies, equipped with an Exile or HoZ combined with a Grief or LastWish (the best being Exile and LW, 8 high runes) has nothing other than a decent Boss attack, yet pales in comparison to a Lite Spearazon with ChargedStrike and any decent crushing blow spear, much less equipped with an an Infinity (3 high runes) on Boss’s.
Then - Smite is a slow and ineffective skill (even with 8 high runs invested) for everything else in game… yet, Lite Spearazon crushes everything on the screen with ChargedStrike (and 0-3 high runes).
In short, Smite is a single use skill (Boss’s) that to optimize needs 8 high runes yet is nowhere near the best Boss killing skill in the game (with zero to 3 high runes).
Why exactly does it need a nerf?
