Pheonix Or Exile????

[ArcaneSupremacy]

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.

Also, you wont need the angelics for a smiter, smite is unblockable and ignores defense, so u dont need the ar..

Pheonix by a long shot.

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

ill go for exile

[Foog]

i would go with exile, but phoenix might be nice if used for wep and shield...800% ed? does the aura stack? wow.

[medicine_man]

ill go for exile

Explain how you came to this conclusion. :inquisiti

[Ken-to]

i would go with exile because.. its just common sense =D

[Doom]

lol commone sense is nutin with exile u wont deal the smite damage u will with phoenix... with phoenix the ed will work and the smite will be godly... the fact that u could wear like nutin good on besides a phoenix and fortitude will make ur smite do a mass amount of damage and 2-4 hit pk ezy.....

[Ken-to]
