Buff Weapons for Added Damage and Effects

The Smith of Kitava ascendancy makes the Warrior's playstyle focus on self-enhancement, able to buff their weapons to match the challenges they face.

Smiths of Kitava can use the Temper Weapon skill before you dive into a pack of mobs to make quick work of them, as the skill allows you to trigger fiery exposions for every attack.

Alters the Properties of Armor

The Smith of Kitava can also build upon a normal armor, adding their favored modifiers from their Ascendancy tree to add as an armor modifier.

Keep in mind that this skill comes with an extremely painful tradeoff, as you will have to spend Ascendancy points to build the perfect armor for your build. To fully maximize this system you will need a lot of ascendancy points as you can either lose out in damage or resistances.

Summons A Weapon Copy

With the Manifest Weapon skill, Smiths of Kitava can summon an animated copy of their weapon to fight alongside them. This is extremely useful for Boss fights or against Elite mobs, as you essentially gain double damage with your summon active.
