Herald Of Zakarum

Description

A generally well rounded paladin shield and among the best shields for paladins in general. Combat paladins, such as FoH'ers, Smiters, Zealers and Hammerdins will make great use of it.

The shield features a lot of strong defensive stats, such as a very high chance to block, all resistances and the FBR to help hit breakpoints, while the +skills helps with the offense.

This shield, commonly referred to as the "HoZ", is generally useful to any Paladin build due to its many useful affixes, including an unmatched-in-slot +4 to Combat Skills. It is a popular candidate for an added socket via the

Siege on Harrogath quest reward, after which time it will likely be fitted with a

Perfect Diamond for a whopping +69% to All Resistances on a rather modest budget. Paladins intending to make use of both a HoZ and

Smite will typically upgrade this item to a

Zakarum Shield with Recipe: Elite Version of Unique Armor as this will nearly double the shield's base damage.

FoH and FoH smiter will make good use of this over Spirit if they can find 35 FCR elsewhere - or even just enough to hit the desirable 75 FCR breakpoint.

For FHR, the 48% breakpoint is desirable (achieved with Spirit's +55FHR alone), but not 100% mandatory.

27% FHR breakpoint (6 frames) is fairly easy to obtain through gear & charms and in most cases is well worth the +4 combat skills over Spirit's +2, due to the huge benefit of +skills to

Holy Bolt and FoH damage.
