yes grief is definitely a must. without it, fortitude would be adding 300% dmg to practically nothing. personally i would use a good enigma. my smiter uses 1371 archon. +2 skills, frw are good but mainly for the insane str boost. it saves me arpund 70 str points which gives me around 70 into vitality, and after bo, thats gonna be a whole lot of extra life.

Alright thanks :p
So, the Fortitude is multiplying the +400 damage given by the Grief?

Well... it does add 3 whole damage

yes the fortitude is multiplying the dmg but it wouldn't show it, so i dont know where that 3 extra dmg is coming from.

Traded my dusk 27 Fort for a fairly good Grief (I guess there really isn't a bad grief on NL, though, no matter how low it is), and I'm currently using Stone (1900 defense).

I still don't know if those seperate aura skills give passive bonuses to resists... does anyone know? I can't decide what to max out after I'm done with the core skills and Fanaticism. I'm considering maxing out Salvation, because this character was primarily made to do "Uber Trist".
