Very good artice David

You should maybe make a small adjustments to europe realm where most of smiters use bug tal (25base dr and open soc) where those shields are very often in use but totally different jeweled.

Genreal conclusions tho are great and I hope that it will finally encourage most of smiters to read little bit more about basics of smite and use math formulas instead of stupid frame dmg.

Good job my friend

Regards

Mike

I hoped to illustrate some of the game mechanics so that people can take the calculations and apply them to their different gearings.

thanks for the kind words.

u cant ber a runeword, and will have 41ish dr and nowhere to make it without sacrificing life/skills which would be almost the same as 41dr gear/4.8klife vs 50dr/4500-4600life etc.

The chance to cast firestorm on phoenix will ruin you if it triggers in smite v smite.

This is the hardest hitting shield in game however:

This is the problem. It is a 40% trigger and you will likely die if it goes off.

This applies also.
