smiter

A smiter is a term that can refer to several distinct concepts, primarily within gaming contexts and historical or religious symbolism. In the realm of video games, particularly role-playing games and MMORPGs, a "smiter" is often a character class or a specific build focused on dealing high melee damage. These characters typically wield powerful weapons and are designed to inflict significant physical harm upon their enemies. Their abilities often revolve around critical strikes, increased attack speed, and direct damage output.

Beyond gaming, the term "smiter" carries a more traditional meaning. Historically and in certain religious or mythological narratives, a smiter refers to someone or something that strikes or punishes, often with divine or righteous force. This could be an avenger, a punisher of wrongdoers, or even a divine agent enacting judgment. In this sense, the "smite" is an act of forceful striking, often associated with retribution or punishment. The exact connotation depends heavily on the specific context in which the term is used.
