Wondering can I make this into a spirit shield (is it worth it?) I have
a lvl 20odd pally so he will be at the reqd lvl soon to use it if I can.
Im just confused with this one as it has both colours in the stats?
I have the rqd runes as well. Thanks

Oh well, for those interested, I made one out of it as i had enough
runes to make another if it turned out crap, heres what I got...Its ok,
though my current shield has +48 res to all, but only 112def. Heres the
spirit....

Res all is MUCH better than def.

It's actually pretty ok, as far as spirits go. 34% FCR is 1 from the max
(35).

However, the shield you put it is 'far from ideal'. As Shiflet said, many
go for res-all in a Pally shield, and they can have up to +45 res-all on
them, to which the 3 individual res-es from the Spirit runes Tal, Thul and
Ort get added.

There are perhaps a tiny few builds which can use a Paladin shield with
built in Enhanced Damage/AR, but I've never run into one. The max on that
is 65% Enhanced Damage combined with +121 AR.

See the section about Auto mods on:

http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/normal/paladinshields.shtml

to get an idea. Also, depending on whether you Smite or not with your
Paladin, you might want to consider using an Elite and not an Exceptional
Paladin shield on one. See link above for that too, it contains links to
the Exceptional/Elite equivalents to the Normal one. A Protector Shield is
an Exceptional item.

Regards, Patrick.
