Shielding Smite

Shielding Smite is a defensive enchantment for melee and ranged weapons built for team play. Defeating an enemy has a chance to spawn a Fortifying well — a zone that grants you and your nearby allies the Fortifying status, shielding the whole group from incoming attacks. It turns every kill into potential cover for the party. It is not ranked on the tier list yet.

The proc chance grows with each tier: 10% at Tier I, 20% at Tier II, and 40% at Tier III. A Unique-tier version pushes the chance to 60%, making wells a regular occurrence in busy fights.

It suits multiplayer groups and anyone who wants defense that benefits the whole team rather than just themselves. Fast kill speeds in crowded encounters keep the wells coming, while slower single-target fights trigger it less often.

The book drops from the enchantment book pool in Singer's Meadow. Apply and upgrade it at the Enchantsmith in Wading Rainy Plains for 3, 5, and 7 enchantment points plus one Echo Shard per tier — 15 points and 3 shards total. If you would rather heal the party on kills, compare Healing Smite Enchantment (Minecraft Dungeons II); Barrier Brew Enchantment and Shadowcloak offer other defensive options for aggressive builds. Disenchanting is free and returns the points, but not the shards.
