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.
