because most youtube content creators dont fully understand the game mechanic's. dont get me wrong, content creators are great, but chains of honor is not.

could u explain what makes enigma better? OP said he worries about resistances, so it would be nice if you could explain how to get those ( assuming OP doesn't have 2 res/fcr rings and a GG res/fcr amulet )

It gives you up to 74 str for spirit, but are those (up to) 148 life worth it? Or the 2 skillpoints that u don't have to invest into teleport?

I can write an essay on pvp or an essay on pvm. you pick. im not doing both.
for players on a budget that play sorc, yes coh is a cheap way to do that. but what are they using it for mf? pvp?

I'd just like to have some information, cause "the others dont fully understand the game (as i do)" is not that helpful.

About ressis:
I assume OP wants to go pvm (for now?), but you really don't have to write an essay. I appreciate the effort, though

well if its pvm, the magic find on engima always beats any stats on chains of honor, noting neither armor has FCR.
At the end of the day the game is built around rng and therefore players should maximise their chance to find (better) items.

i have tried to make that as short as possible.

COH

+2 To All Skills
+200% Damage To Demons
+100% Damage To Undead
8% Life Stolen Per Hit
+70% Enhanced Defense
+20 To Strength
Replenish Life +7
All Resistances +65
Damage Reduced By 8%
25% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items

Enigma

+2 To All Skills
+45% Faster Run/Walk
+1 To Teleport
+750-775 Defense (varies)
+ (0.75 Per Character Level) +0-74 To Strength (Based On Character Level)
Increase Maximum Life 5%
Damage Reduced By 8%
+14 Life After Each Kill
15% Damage Taken Goes To Mana
+ (1 Per Character Level) +1-99% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items (Based On Character Level)

and now taking out the useless stuff or stuff thats identical ( i removed the def bonus as they are similar, enigma slightly better ).

COH

Replenish Life +7
All Resistances +65

Enigma

+45% Faster Run/Walk
+1 To Teleport
+ 54 To Strength (Based On Character Level)
Increase Maximum Life 5%
+14 Life After Each Kill
15% Damage Taken Goes To Mana
+ 74% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items (Based On Character Level)

i.e. if you can make up the all res elsewhere, then enigma does more damage, more mf, more life, more frw and is just all round better. Even if you cant get max res with current gear if you teleport well your not getting hit (much). In the long term if your character is well built with very good gear and charms you will not die from 1 hit and therefore you can heal. this blunts alot of resistance issues (just dont have really bad light or fire res).

Honestly i did not think about the frw and LaeK/dmg to mana. It does increase the speed of the run and survivability.
Having up to 74% mf more (than with coh) is not too big of a deal in my eyes, but if the resistances are somehow covered, every bit of extra mf does help.

Ty for the effort!
