Smoke or Lionheart?

Hi Everyone,

I am currently playing through un-twinked with a fishyzon and am about to finish Act 5 Nightmare. My resists are going to be lacking a little bit once I make it to Hell and I have the runes to make both smoke and lionheart... however I am unsure which once I should make.

Since I have low physical damage the 20% enhanced damage doesn't do much but the +vitality and life is pretty nice. The resists on smoke are pretty insane though. Let me know what you guys think.

Lionheart only has 20 less resistance than Smoke. Imo it is totally worth it for the huge stat boosts.

I agree, lionheart is way better. You could also consider treachery, just have to make sure to keep fade up.

Ok, I will probably end up using the armor on another character later... what do you think the most versatile base is for lionheart?

If you can make use of the str/dex on Lionheart then it's pretty amazing, but the extra res on Smoke can make a big difference as well.

Since it has no enhanced defense any exceptional light armor will do.
