Uber Pally/PvP Question Alright, for my Armor I'm currently wearing an AP Fortitude. I made a Duress a few minutes ago, and I'm quite impressed on the Mods it gives. So, should I wear Fortitude or Duress? Duress looks badass on what it gives. +40% Faster Hit Recovery +10-20% Enhanced Damage (varies) Adds 37-133 Cold Damage 2 sec. Duration (Normal) 15% Chance of Crushing Blow 33% Chance of Open Wounds +150-200% Enhanced Defense (varies) -20% Slower Stamina Drain Cold Resist +45% Lightning Resist +15% Fire Resist +15% Poison Resist +15%
Re: Uber Pally/PvP Question For pvp you will need fort for sure, the 300% ed beats the 15 CB by far. For pvm, well, it's more of a matter of taste. The main thing duress has is the 15 CB. If you think your current CB is too low for your taste then you can try Duress. But keep in mind that 300 off-weapon ED is a lot and it can really give you a sick smite damage, especially when coupled with Grief.
Re: Uber Pally/PvP Question I use Duress, but that's mainly because I had it lying around and it doesn't really matter on an uber smiter. In terms of speed for ubers the difference will be negligible so long as you have the usual boxes ticked (CB, lifetap, resists). Pvp is a totally different ballgame, of course. I don't pvp but I'd imagine CB isn't a priority for a smiter.
Re: Uber Pally/PvP Question When you want a character to do pvp and pvm. you build it for pvp and switch around for pvm. Fort/enigma over all others.
