Description

Most notable for its +300% Enhanced Damage (even in chest armor!), Fortitude is often the go-to armor for act 2 mercenaries.

Key details

  • Pair it with a high base damage Insight, Infinity, Pride, etc., and your mercenary will hit like a truck.
  • Fortitude is also effective on many physical damage characters, including Charger Paladin, Bowazon, Frenzy Barbarian, and even melee Sorceresses.

D2Emu Tips

  • The "+X To Life (Based on Character Level)" modifier is randomly set to one of the following values: 1 / 1.125 / 1.25 / 1.375 / 1.5.
  • Some may overlook the chance to cast Chilling Armor on being struck, but this ctc skill can take the armor’s already high defense to astronomical heights.
  • A level 15 Chilling Armor provides +186% Defense for 312 seconds.
  • The chance of a perfect roll (30 All Resistances and a 1.5 life modifier) is 1/30 or 3.333%.
  • For some mercenary combinations (esp.
  • If you want much cheaper alternative to Fortitude you might consider Prudence - it gives you more defense, if placed into an ethereal armor for self-use (Ethereal armor self-repairs; increase in base defense in perfectly rolled Prudence is 35 % over non-ethereal Fortitude).
