Description

I've been using an Exile for my Zeal/smiter hybrid for a while now and I'm curious if Phoenix would be a significant upgrade for everyday use when I'm doing more Zeal then Smite. What is it that makes Phoenix BiS? Is it worth acquiring all of the runes to make a Phoenix or is the Exile good enough?

Can be used to make Runewords:

Offers of perfect amethysts, Hel runes, tokens, and keys are also welcome.

Neither of them necessarily makes or breaks the build, but Phoenix is only worth the cost for some builds. The Life Tap on Exile is too useful to give up, especially given how expensive Phoenix is. Especially if you are smiting somewhat regularly, where life steal doesnt work so Life Tap is critical.

I don't Smite nearly so often as I should. Basically use it for D-clone since I hate Key farming. Really a zealot with Smiting as an addon if I'm honest. I suppose if I switched to Phoenix I could equip my merc with Reaper's Toll instead of the Obedience I've currently got him using.

The thing is, you probably arent going to notice any meaningful difference by swapping, you are just using 4 high runes. If you have the runes to spare, then sure, have a play. But if you arent sitting on piles of high runes, probably focus on other things, like a good roll Grief or something

Definitely not swimming in runes. I would need to acquire all of the high runes. Two Grief thus far. I'm reasonably happy with them. Have an Enigma but lacking the resistances from charms to comfortably switch from my Fortitude. Using Nature's Peace opposite of Raven Frost because I need the res and Nilathak angers me.
