vortex vs barb/zeal/wolf druid etc
St vs everything else

Hmm seems like the def changes is pretty usefull though zaka seems nice too even though it lacks the defiance aura

If ST > Vortex, than why does everyone want a Vortex for ubering? Might be a dumb question, but I don't know

higher defense looks cooler

cause uber and pvp is 2 defferint things

wut? eth shield do not gieb more smite damage.
zaka>exiel indeed, but he didnt ask that. exiel for pvm. zaka for pvp.
exiel lifetab>pvm

i am the guy who asked lmao and life tap is pretty usefull imo its BM but i dont give a crap anymore in pubbies, everyone uses so why shouldnt i

eth might not add dmg but upging the zaka does, donno if to use eth bugged exile or eth upg zaka, since zaka = best avg dmg, but exile adds a shitload more def higher MAX dmg but less min dmg and has life tap

so Dmg+res vs def+lifetap

if you want to duel GM, use a NON eth upped zaka (hoz) socketed with Ber..

if you wanna BM, use a ETH GLITCHED ST Exile

as for the topic, ST > Vortex coz:

1. more block %
2. lesser reqs
3. more CONSISTENT damage (vortex is 5 to 87, minimum roll on the min damage)

Go for zaka mainly, but use vortex against chars that need ar to hit you + other exile smiters
e: if you dont reach the mb or str limit without statting any extra in dex or str, go for ST
