To understand everything about the shields of the paladins, the dummies, the strong, the most powerful in the game for Smiter Hammerdin Foh and Auradin!

Shield Versions

Like the other objects, each shield exists in three versions Normal, Exceptional or Elite. it is crucial to identify which version of the shield is, because this will influence:

  • shield damage, if you play Smiter you will only need an elite base
  • shield armor, ideally all paladins will want an elite base to have more armor
  • the chance to block, also very practical
  • overall, you will therefore always benefit from having an elite shield (99.99% of cases)

Details on damage:

  • if you are not a paladin, you do not have the damage displayed
  • if you are a paladin the damage is multiplied by your damage percentage, don't think you have an elite version just because it "hits hard"
  • average shield damage is always the same, e.g.
    • 46-46 Zakarum
    • 5-87 the vortex
  • look at the name of the object or possibly its required strength and dexterity

Shield Types

Now that you understand that you need an elite paladin shield base, not all elite bases are created equal:

  • Sacred Shield:
    • ideal for hammerdins, auradins or FoH as the best chance of blocking
    • Hammerdin: it must be with at least 40 at all resistances with 4 holes to make spirit
    • Auradin: it must be with at least 43 at all resistances and 3 holes to make Dream or Dragon
    • Fist of the Heavens FoH: it must be blue with 4 holes and life or chance to block for 4 Lightning Facet
    • having damage percentage on it makes the item useless
  • Sacred Rondache:
    • alternative to the Sacred Targe in less good, less block percentage and requires more strength
  • Kurast and Zarakum:
    • bof, to take only if no other choice
  • Vortices:
    • ideal for the Smiters because the best defense
    • it must be ethereal with at least 43 at all resistances and four holes
    • a version with damage is less interesting but can help
    • to use to make Exile
    • Exile gives the aura of defiance and indestructible, which further increases defense, hence the base Vortex
    • given the rune cost of Exile, it will always be done in this type of shield only

Summary

If you are new to D2R, here is a somewhat restrictive summary but you will be sure not to keep too many paladin shields or on the contrary to miss a nugget:

  • Sacred Targe or Sacred Rondache 4 holes 40 resistances mini - approximately Ist
  • Sacred Targe or Sacred Rondache 3 holes 43 resistances mini - approximately Ist +
  • Sacred Shield or Magic Sacred Rondache 4 holes - several HR
  • Vortex Eth 43 mini resistors - several HR
  • you can throw all your shields with damage!

With this guide you will know very easily if you should keep an ethereal sacred shield or a 4-hole vortex shield with damage on Diablo 2 Resurrected! Don't miss out on shields that cost several HR and don't keep full of shields without any market value!
