Game Forum / Role Playing Games / Diablo / October 2005Ping Ash... or maybe it was omeone else
Was it you who was after an elite Pally shield with 4 sockets and lots of resists? I found a Zakarum with 43 res and 4 sockets, 180 def from memory. Whoever wanted it chase me up on *Moondanther.

Though that one does sound better than the one I had already. The vortex shield I'm using at the moment only had like 9res all base. The one I had been after and found recently was good, so that one would make a good replacement for the vortex shield. Although I was also after an eth one to make an exile in should I ever manage to get the runes for it together. Ashen Shugar  SignatureThe lions sing and the hills take flight.

I wasn't sure if you had wanted it eth as well, anyways its there if someone else wants it, my pally is only lvl 8 and is unlikely to ever use it.

I found an ethereal 4 socket Monarch the other day, def of 199. I sit worth keeping? Trading? Giving away? Can't have it taking up precious space on a mule if it's useless.

Whether or not a dueller would use spirit is the question I guess. If they do, you could get a decent price from them for it I suppose. Although with the new socketing eth armour bug, they may not be too interested in a normal eth armour. Ashen Shugar SignatureThe lions sing and the hills take flight.

Yes and it would not be much use even if it could be made in that, as non-pally shields are *badly* inferior to any paladin. For example, my Smiter is right now using a 4-socketed non-eth Zakarum shield which, imagining that there were nothing in those sockets, has only 13 points lower def than that monarch (even though my shield is not ethearal!), the same block %, MUCH higher Smite damage (like all pally shields) and +44 to all resistances. There's no contest at all. > Whether or not a dueller would use spirit is the question I guess. If Not just that, an ethearal Spirit monarch would also be the *best* shield for an Act III mercenary. Not just because of the defense, in fact not really at all because of the defense, but because the ethearalness takes away 10 from the strength requirement, so a high-level mercenary can actually equip one without any strength boosting gear (and non-high-level ones can equip it much easier if its eth, as most of the huge-str-bonus items are not likely gear on these mercs otherwise). Act II mercs don't block, so the low block % doesn't matter and the Spirit has by far the best bonuses for a caster merc shield (+2 skills, nice if not the best resists, FCR, huge FHR - and that's very important, since Act III mercenaries have atrociously slow hit recovery). I'd hold on to one, just in case I'd ever decide to go with a cold merc on any character. It's really *the best* shield for them. > Although with the new socketing eth armour bug, they may not be too > interested in a normal eth armour. You mean already-socketed armour? I'm sort of scared after finding an eth sacred targe (+37 all res) *without* any sockets, now - I might just be stupid enough to try the cube recipe on it... (I'd already have the runes for Exile, if I cubed up most of what I have.)

I think I'm sleep deprived.) Well, actually you were right both times really. Armour that drops with sockets already *is* non-bugged armour. I could have phrased myself better initially.
