since when fhr is a must in svs? What only counts is the Hp u got, skill/ed/dr and kind of shield also


Fhr has always been relevant in smite vs smite. We had smiters with 0 fhr 5600 life in our league in legacy, and they got stomped by everyone. Even the 4500 life budget ones.

In legacy 48 was even mandatory, in d2r you can get away with 27

Raw stats are important, doesn’t rly matter wether you go life or high % ed/gore route (gore tends to be slightly better than ww tho)

Water walks work fine with all shields on fort builds. Only problems you run into is str requirements of the shield.

When you go enigma you need the extra cb 200-300 dmg to make up for loss of damage, this a general rule when using kurast, vortex and sacred rondache on an enigma build.

It’s not that gores or water walks are better, it’s a simple math problem.
