Vortex Shield - Lazurk or Socket Recipe

single player, are you play Dragon or Dream?


usually, 4 socket is best, you can find some 3 socket with Dream / Dragon. it is not need full resist thing actually but add some charms with 100hp less, not big deal.

This would be an excellent Spirit base...

if build in Spirit, it is looking for fcr and

Teleport use.

does paladin equip Spirit to fight?

Hammerdin and FoH yes, absolutely.

FoH smiter hybrid often times too.

Upped and

Um'd HoZ may be better in some cases because of the huge impact of +skills on your damage output - but in these cases you would ideally need to find a way to make up for that 25-35% FCR (

Caster Amulet,

Circlet with FCR, etc) if swapping out Spirit brings you below the 48 FCR breakpoint.

For FoH ideally you'd want to hit the 48 FCR breakpoint at minimum and 75 FCR for better QoL or if you're using

Holy Bolt lots.

I don't play Hammerdin much but I'd guess they'd want to have 75 FCR minimum.

One question.

Vortex Shield is ethereal or non-ethereal? Came with allres mode? What runeword are you seeking to make? If you seek doing Phoenix or Spirit I vote

Hammerdin wants to have 125 FCR for the highest damage and

Teleport speed possible.

My FoHdin also has 125 FCR for the same reasons. FoH has cast delay, but

Holy Bolt and

Teleport don't, and I often use

Holy Bolt to heal my merc or to attack lined up monsters.

OP posted a picture of the shield. It's non-ethereal with 45all res.

Even if you don't get rushing assistance, it shouldn't take too long to complete

Larzuk's quest for 4 OS.

Thanks guys for your comments, tips and suggestions! I was very pleased with the high level of participation.
After much deliberation, I decided on using the socket recipe. I have enough runes, so I don't depend on the shield turning out to be anything useful.
On the other hand it has perfect all res and is only 1 point away from perfect defense.
But no risk no fun.

Here is the result:

Spoiler

Awesome, congratz!
I bet that felt way greater than if you would have used a

Larzuk-Quest.

If you sell it, I'd like to hear what you get for it.

Well, guess in the end it didn't matter.
Either way, grats.

Though for a Vortex, I would've always gone for 4 (=

Larzuk) anyways.

STarge would've been a different story imo.

Good luck :p

Unless it happens to be ethereal, then still

Larzuk of course.
