a few comments i'd like to add...
upgraded HoZ has significantly more smite dmg than eth HoZ. the def difference is negligible since u'll be full of +skill items and pcombat gcs to boost holy shield and get high def no matter what u wear. smite also ignores target def and blocking so there is no competition of def involved. with enigma on, u should have no problem wearing uped HoZ.
i don't think the holy shock aura on dream adds to smite dmg. i'd rather wear a ber shako for more DR, skills and life.
dual leech rings are only needed for pvm and ONLY when u're using ur 1-point zeal. same goes for soul drainers.
with a dusk enigma, u probably won't even need 100 base str.
HoZ has high blocking, and with a maxed holy shield u most likely won't even need 130 total dex for maxed block. getting enough dex to wear grief phase blade will do.
for rings, i would normally use raven frost + bk ring. switch out bk for others whenever necessary.
nice merc btw.

Hmm, lets see.
As i sayd in another thread, fortitude has been updated, and it dont give any good stats in an armour.
Its better to use CoH than Enigma on a Smiter.
Doom berserker axe is probably the best weapon you get for a smiter, because it gives you the holy freeze aura wich is important for you.
With Holy Shield, i dont know how much dex you need to have max block, but i know that in you dont need points in it for ATR, unless you gonna use charge for mobility in combat.
HoZ is a caster shield, the shields you shoud choose is either Exile or Pheonix.
Exile = More Defensive
Pheonix = More Offensive
Instead of whining, i shall make my own version.
I do this because atm i have nothing better to do.
I dont think skill+ items is important on a smiter exept for BO/BC

fortitude still has good stats. you must've read it wrong. go make one and see for urself.
enigma > CoH if u use CoA. CoA requires 174 str if u haven't noticed. enigma also has much higher def than CoH.
grief > doom. holy freeze is nothing compared to the smite dmg u get from grief.
for smiting, upgraded HoZ is second to none.
i personally would never add extra dex just to get AR. u also said that it's only for charging at ranged attackers. all ranged attackers have crap def, so u won't need any more AR.
+skill items do matter since +1 to all skills adds to fanat, smite, holy shield, and ur secondary attack, which is about +5 base smite dmg and 32%ed to smite. i personally prefer to use shako over CoA.

I never made a fortitude myself, but from what i read on arreat summit, the fortitude has no ed defence. I could be wrong, but in this case it wont be my fault.
With the items i had in my guide, you wont need so extremly much str anyway, so a CoA is pretty ok to use.
From what i have experiance, the extra dmg from Grief is only added to your weapon attack, and not your shield attack. Have you tested the dmg when you using it, by see the dmg with and without it.
Upgraded HoZ is good, i agree, but its nothing compare to an etheral Exile chromatic zakarum shield.
I know that skills is good to have, but with a smiter, there are more important things to use first.

there is currently a display bug with the attribute window. grief's added dmg does not show up, so it has to be manually calculated. my grief zealot's lvl 1 smite beat a non-grief smiter. i think that's enough proof that the +dmg does work.
smite dmg is enormous with grief. life tap triggers about every 5 hits, so again, life tap will not save u from an 8.4k smite unless u're lucky enough to have it trigger on the first hit. if that's the way u like to duel, then go buy a wand with life tap charges. there...100% chance to cast life tap.
yes there are more important things than +skills...like dmg and life...well HoZ gives u those!

the fact that a real smiter should be able to kill a zealot but instead loses, doesn't prove anything? whatever u say man...
my displayed smite dmg was <800, and my displayed zeal dmg (b4 venom triggers) was <1.2k, yet i was 2-hit killing the zealots with godly gear. coincidence?

Maybe it just where luck.
I dont know if the dmg is as you say, so i wont argue with you on that one.
