Can someone explain to me about Smite?

[quote=Adonikam]Alright, in basically EVERY jungle guide you are told to wait until the creeps' health is enough to kill it in one go with Smite. But why?! Last hitting with Smite is ONLY useful at dragon and baron, where it is possible to be ganked. My reasoning: 1. The sooner you use it, the sooner you can use it again. 2. You get gold just from using it, not from scoring a kill from it. Maybe there is something I'm missing but when I jungle I smite ASAP in order to get it again faster.[/quote]

[quote=B-Wong]+5 gold if you have mastery. Also if someone warded Golem, per say, then if you Smite to kill it you get the gold and they can't steal it.[/quote]

[quote=PFP]Yeah in my jungling route I generally use it when the golem is at 40% and when the lizard is at 30%, it's not a killing blow but it is nearly one. I've gotten use to doing it like this and it times out perfectly for when I go to the next buff. But if I'm going wraiths first then obviously I use it on the blue one instantly. I don't really have logic behind it I guess it might be preference?[/quote]

[quote=PotatisFarfar]it is only to stop people vrom popping out and steal. + b4 you needed to last hit to get bonus gold.[/quote]

[quote=Adonikam]Ahk thanks for the replies! Last hitting then would be ideal for buffs.[/quote]

[quote=Restrictnine#5232]I actually wait till it is actually BELOW the damage smite does most of the time. I cannot tell you how many times it has been stolen because i used it early. Plus, if you get ganked while ur jungling and you already used smite, then ur fucked cuz even if you get away, you didnt get a buff, and probably gave it to the other team. fuuuuuu[/quote]

[quote=PotatisFarfar]Well smite does more dmg than it says. smite does magic dmg. Golem / lizard got -mr . smite when golem got 500 hp. Then it will die[/quote]

[quote=caucheka]yeah. i always thought that was funny, that almost all the monsters have -mr[/quote]

[quote=Restrictnine#5232]Well... Experienced junglers just memorize how much damage smite does at the times they use it. For example, at lv 1, smite does 547 to blue golem. the ones that i hate are dragon and baron though. they actually have MR, so smite does shit damage to them. Which makes stealing baron hard as hell.[/quote]

[quote=PotatisFarfar]How to steal baron 1. pick viddle sticks 2. get some lvls 3. W8 till they go dragon 4. ult 5 ??? 6 provit! true story.[/quote]
