I’m using smelters Wrath with forge strikes and lung and vengeance but not sure if it’s a good setup oh and shield throw. Any advice? My build

Hi! Actually I have almost the same question. I’m currently experimenting with Smelter’s Wrath + Foot of the Mountain boots and it feels pretty rewarding so far as my defenses skyrocket while channeling. Still I can’t shake the feeling that investing 15 points into Paladin and picking Symbols of Hope instead of SW would be a far better option. My main attack skill is Forge Strike + Vengeance as well and the former is an area damage. So I wonder if I should balance it with some survivability skills instead.

I might have more to say on the topic once I’m in the 90th with this character. For now it is just a gut feeling.

I’m trying to get more fire damage but my armor is all wack. Feel free to add me in game if you’d like

It can be great three things to consider:

  1. grab area anywhere you can area equals faster charge speed which means less time at risk charging
  2. grab flat melee fire where ever you can as with a 600% added damage effectiveness a t7 flat fire on a 2hd adds over 600 flat fire
  3. consider even horizon 2hd mace. You won’t need max stack for echos so you can keep evading to remove buff and for bosses you can use it at 10 stacks from mace of debilitation.
