What is better for a smiter: enigma or fortitude?

[elmek]

As topic says. I'm kinda lost here. Eni=more life, Forti=more damage.

Also do you max smite on your smiters?

I'll use him for trist, and some pvm maybe. I can try pvp sometime.

In my opinion a full smiter should be pvp only, and there the best armor for him is enigma for mobility/life. If you want a pvm mostly char make a zealot (1pt smite is enough) and there fortitude is the top armor.

Against ubermefi COH is also useful :) (resist + damage + DR + 2skill)

wow :D

well...

enigma gives you around 60 str, if you will put all those 60 points that u will save with using enigma into vitality you will get about 180 life or so, but with fortitude u can get up to 124 life and it also has resistances and +300ed, tell me what more could you want.. :wink2:

That's actually a good point. I forgot about the life bonus on Forti. But then, doesn't the mobility suck?

As for PvM I was rather thinking to put only a coupe leftover points into zeal for crowd control. Dunno yet as I heard that smite can get quite impressive damage on its own. I'm planning to run ubers mostly as I'm getting kinda bored with usual PvM.

[Arutha]

the life per level doesnt get multilplied b battle orders, whereas the 60 pts you would put into vitality do get effected by bo, so you will have a bit more life if you go base strength and use enigma. Myself I prefer either coh or enigma on a smiter.

Grief + 1pt zeal/sacrifice will give the crowd control yes.

But fort provides such godly damage though.

If you can use another method of dodging/chasing the opponent, then I would use Fort.

Like.. if a necro Bwall/IM you, you're pretty much screwed, unless you have teleport charges.

[Judggin]

^True but thats what DynCharge is for, love it when I run 2-3 screens away and become invisible :P

[elmek]

Thanks averyone for the opinions. In this case I'll pick enigma. Have one, i'd have to buy/create forti.
Still not sure about smite. Everyone maxed it here? So the basic skills points:
20 smite
20 HS
20 fana
20 defiance

Where do you put your remaining points? Into zeal/sacrifice or u max charge maybe?

[kingdryland]

Well, to get an aswer to that check the smite pvp guides. For pvm/crowd control 1pt zeal and rest in sacrifice is the way,but that would make the pvp part a bit weak. You should really check the vindicator/templar and the vindicator/savior.

[Mohrr]

For the Ubers I use CoH. Its got everything you need, especially the resists.

Also...don't max Smite. Only a few points are needed. I believe I have 10 into it (before I read the guide) but he still does fine.

[Jackson]

You can't exactly "switch off" enigma though, because of the +strength..
