The Fortitude runeword is created by combining the runes El+Sol+Dol+Lo in 4 socket Weapons or Armor.

Required Runes

Utility

The damage bonus when made in Armor is highly sought after for Melee builds and Mercenaries. Don't make Fortitude in a Weapon as it is not worth the Lo rune required.

Recommended Bases

The base will depend on if you plan to share the armor with other characters or if it will be for your Mercenary. Ethereal is preferred for a Mercenary, but you won't be able to use Ethereal on your characters.

Archon Plate
Use Ethereal if using for a Mercenary
Sacred Armor
Best in slot if Ethereal and used on a Mercenary
