My stats for shild:
15% to cast lvl 5 lifetap
lvl 13 defiance aura
2- defence auras
30% faster block
Freezes target
235 enhanced def
life regen +7
+5 to max fire and cold resist
resist all + 42
25 mf
reapirs 1 duribility in 4 secs
Etheral

My life is 1.5k when i bo plus my life never touches the half way point (unless dueling)
i only just got 75 block with the last 5 stats i added

So basicly i need more damage not life

Any one who wants to trade grief with me ill offor up to 2 soj leave message here :)

Enigma > CoH. Reason: Far more damage, more defense, more life. There are better ways to stack resistances if you're forced to fight a caster (ie. Kira's Guardian, resistance charms). Against melee, you don't need resists, and against casters, you don't need damage reduction. Unless you frequently fight multiple opponents at the same time, you only need one or the other. Don't stick with a just a single setup. The stash is there for a reason.

Upgraded HoZ > any Exile. Reason: Far more damage, solves your resistance problems, more life, much higher blocking.

Exile's Defiance is pretty much useless considering that it does nothing against smite, and you only need enough defense not to get mowed down by WW barbs. Defiance is overkill.

Regarding life tap. With Grief around, smiters tend to deal anywhere between 7k and 12k damage per hit. A 15% chance of casting life tap and only stealing half your damage in life will NOT save you if you're dead in 2 - 3 hits.

1.5k life is terrible even without BO. My planned V/T has 2.3k without BO and my friends consider that to be low, and my only explanation is that I don't have any pcombat gcs of vita. Want to know why your life is so low? Exile, that's why. Crap blocking = more dex needed = less vit = lower life. Switch to upgraded HoZ, and you'll get more life AND more damage.


Another thing I must mention is the damage you claimed to deal. You do NOT deal 4.5k damage. Based on your current setup, you'd be lucky to have 3k average damage. 4.5k is your maximum damage, and you will almost never hit that high. I assume you are using either a vortex or kurast shield, both of which have very inconsistent damage. That's another reason upgraded HoZ is a better choice. A perfectly consistent 46-46 base smite damage.
