Can't be evaded: Vaal Smite ignores accuracy and evasion rating for hit chance calculations.
The lightning damage area of effect caused by this skill does not count as a melee hit for purposes of effects like Fortify.

Additionally, because of the Vaal Smite buff granting regular Smite an additional target, Ancestral Call may be unnecessary in general.
The area damage from lightning bolts can overlap, causing additional damage to a target if there are nearby enemies.
The aura from this skill does not stack with the aura from regular Smite: Vaal Smite has priority (even if it's weaker).[1]
