The Smith of Kitava Class introduces the unkillable version of the Strike Warrior. Having all the benefits of damage from a regular Warrior and incredibly high resistances, the Flaming Tank Smith of Kitava goes into enemy packs without fear and leaves only ashes behind.
During the endgame, this build makes use of the Ascendency Skill Fire Spell on Hit, which makes use of the spells Flame Wall, Solar Orb, and Flammability to really lean into AoE Fire Damage.

Weapons
Two-Handed Mace, One-Handed Mace, and a Shield
Though this may vary depending on the player's preference, Warriors will most commonly use a Two-Handed Mace as the main source of damage. The One-Handed Mace and Shield in the second weapon loadout will mostly be used specifically for Shield Charge, which can be used to engage enemies or as an escape tool.
Armor
Use Normal Armour Upon Ascending
Assuming you have ascended to Smith of Kitava in Act 2 after the Trial of The Sekhemas, you can use the Ascendency skill Smith's Masterwork to apply modifiers to your own body armour.
Once you get more Ascendency points in Act 3 after the Trial of Chaos, you will unlock the passive Coal Stoker, which gives your Cold and Lightning Resistance 50% of your Fire Resistance modifiers.
Use Armour with Fire Resistance and Maximum Life
Once you obtain equipment with enough modifiers to max out your resistances even without Smith's Masterwork, you may now Respec out of it and allot your Ascendency points into Heat of the Forge for more AoE Fire Damage. Look for Armour that provides both Fire Resistance and Maximum Life to maximize tankiness especially in the higher tier maps.
Accessories
Use an Amethyst Ring and Another Elemental Resistance Ring
In general, use rings that have the most elemental resistances, armour, or damage modifiers. However, having at least one Amethyst Ring will boost chaos resistance, which you cannot get as easily. For the second ring, a great option would be a Prismatic Ring to boost all elemental resistances.
In the early to mid game, you may opt to switch out your rings to increase resistances depending on the boss or enemy you are fighting.
List of Rings
Use an Armour-based Amulet Early on Then Switch to Mana and Spell Damage
|
Amber Amulet
|
・Increased Armour
・Increased Elemental Resistance ・Increased Attributes ・X to Level of all Melee Skills |
|---|---|
 Azure Amulet
|
・Increased Mana Regeneration Rate
・Increased Spell Damage ・Increased Cast Speed ・Increased Elemental Resistances ・Increased Intelligence ・X to Level of all Melee Skills |
From Act 1 to the end of Cruel Mode or even in the early tiers of the endgame, use an Amulet that focuses mainly on improving your defenses. The skills and passive tree you use at that point does not need Mana and Spell Damage yet.
For Mapping, however, you will adjust your setup to accomodate Fire Spell on Hit, one of the Smith of Kitava's Ascendency Passives. Using this Ascendency Passive requires you to have some Intelligence invested in order to use fire spells.
Socketables
 Ruby |
・X% increased Fire Damage ・X% increased Armour ・X% increased Attack Damage |
|---|
It is recommended to equip Ruby Jewels to further boost your damage or defenses.
Runes and Soul Cores
| Equipment | Sockets |
|---|---|
| Weapon | |
| Armor |
In general, using two Iron Runes to get a 40% Physical Damage boost for you Weapon will help greatly. As for your Armor Runes, slot in Desert Runes only if you are no longer using Smith's Masterwork and need more Fire Resistance. Other good options would be Body Runes for more health or Rebirth Runes for life regeneration for more survivability.
| All Runes and Soul Cores | |

| List of Runes | List of Soul Cores |
Charms
 Antidote Charm |
・Increased Duration
・Increased Charges ・Recover Life when Used |

The Antidote Charm is the build's primary charm, as many enemies use in the endgame use Poison and you have capped out resistances for Fire, Cold, and Lightning damage.

Mobbing
For general mobbing, you will spam Leap Slam into or nearby enemy packs with the goal of having as many enemies primed for stunning as possible. Once enemies can be stunned, you can use Boneshatter to deal massive AoE damage.
Bossing
For bossing, you will rely almost entirely on Perfect Strike to defeat bosses and rare enemies throughout the endgame. Spamming Perfect Strike and using Boneshatter when bosses are primed for stun is more than enough to clear maps. Once Glory from heavy stunning enemies has been built up, make sure to weave in Hammer of the Gods for massive additional damage.
