Usage
Compared to Smite Hex, Shatter Hex costs significantly more, but does a larger amount of damage and can be used more often, as it recharges more quickly. Both Smite Hex and Shatter Hex do armor-ignoring damage, but nothing is weak to Shatter Hex's Chaos damage, while some enemies are weak to Smite Hex's Holy damage. Generally, if the user has a large amount of energy or a reliable way to regain energy (be it Soul Reaping in a Necro primary, Energy Storage in an Elementalist primary, Inspiration Magic, Blood is Power, or any other source), Shatter Hex is the superior choice as it can remove more hexes and do more damage in a shorter amount of time, while Smite Hex works better for those who find energy to be a problem.
