Pheonix Or Exile????

[Silver Ice]

guys...read the first post. it specifically says "smiters", not zealots.

notice that phoenix does not add to chance to block. this means u'll be spending a lot more pts in dex, which means fewer pts in vit, and lower life. it also has no dmg reduction, no resists, and no enhanced def. basically, u'll get hit very often, and it will hurt a lot, but u'll also be dealing a lot of dmg.

my conclusion: phoenix shield is for glass cannons builds.

this is exile...... notice is adds a faster block rate, NOT AN INCREASED CHANCE TO BLOCK. meaning yes u will still have the same amount into dex....... yes u will have a slightly lower amount of defense, and yes u will need dracs for lifetap........someone go and find my pally build..... it is on "new ladder runewords release" i think its called that.... and its near the last page...... my pally has less defense but around.... um..... way more dmg. this makes up for it
