What Pieces Are Worth Upgrading?

I've looked around, but can't find any consensus on what unique pieces are really worth upgrading. It seems to me they'd need a pretty decent Enhanced Defens…

That sounds super annoying! But at least it doesn't reroll the shown stats, I suppose. Learn something new every day it seems with this game lol. Was thinking of upping my HoZ for my SSF smiter and now I can take this into account (though the defense is not so important there).
HoZ is another great example where the odds are strong for a final defense to be lower than the previous. However, for a smiter its worth it to up it due to the increased shield
Smite damage of the elite vs. exceptional version.

Edit: Don't forget the increased strength requirement of going from a
Gilded Shield (89 str) to a
Zakarum Shield (142). But since most smiters do CTA/Spirit on swap you should have at least 156 str anyways.

I do have Spirit on swap, but it's a paladin shield so no need for that pesky 156 STR. I am sure it will be ok though, some of the other gear has +STR. I think I might need to sac 20 points into it or so.

Usually looking for Runes, Essences, PGems, Tokens, Keys, etc.
Always willing to discuss and negotiate

Pala Spirits don't need that much str.
But with torch, anni, Guilli, Enigma etc. you surpass 142 easily.
