Zealot ed/ias/ar shield

Many zealots know all about exile, hoz, alma negra and stormshield. I'm surprised that there isn't any mention about the 220+ed/IAS/AR Paladin shield. Most of the defense are from the armor, and the prebuff is done on switch. Post here all the pros and cons of this ed/ias/ar pally shield.

Do you mean something like a 4x 40/15 (paladin shield) with the natural ed/ar mods?

I've never thought of doing that actually :surprise:

Pros would be the high damage..and thats about it. There would be no ICB, FBR, stats, skills, resists or even defense (shield def does make a big difference)

well, you could *possibly* get a jewelers vortex shield of deflecting.
4 sock
225 defense
30 faster block
20% ICB

and it could have the AR/ED mod on it
but thats all in hopefulness

I doubt it would be able to match up to exile. Maybe good to be used in Clan Honor or Palapk?
...........do i even have to say it?

First off Mortic is top zealot on the non bm list now on west.. and secondly we dont need exile to win. Exile is a piece of crapola and should never be spoken again.

Besides that we own most exile users anyways.

Hah thats pretty cool, I was playing with an editor and with perfect gear and charms, got 82xx damage with eth death cleaver, and 11k+ with an ebotd zerk. (using 40/9 str jewels) The shield added about 2k damage on each weapon.

Was using an enigma, 400 less damage than a 160/36 str archon, but 200 more than 160/60 max

Another nice thing about the shield is the IAS. With some setup you have to use a crappy defense ias gloves. This shield gives you the option of using steelrend.

Switching from hoz setup to ed/ias/ar shield setup, I lost less than 2k defense because steelrend is making up for the low defense shield. Switching from enigma to ED archon armor, I lost 7k+ defense.
