Crown of Ages or Shako

[xtc_sazabi]

Which would suit a hammerdin better, the crown or shako. i like the DR, resis, + skill, high def of the crown, but the shako has +2, life/mana, and Dr. Which would be better, and if i used a crown, what should i socket in it
current setup:
Shako (Ber)
Maras 30
Hoz(Ber)
Hoto
spiderweb
sandstorms
soj/BK
magefist

depeneds on your armor. I see no reason you should choose the CoA over the shako DR isnt very important when you are teleling circles around the loser melee dude at 9 fps ;) plus you really need that extra mana from the shako to keep tele up (assuming u have an enigma which judging from ur current equip u probably do) resistance isnt a prob for pallys generally, if your hoto is perfect you are almost at max res in hell, toss in a nice anni and a few charms and you have max res. As for the 2 sockets what is the best thing you can socket in a helm, not much seeing ur a hammerdin. The only advantage I can see in the CoA is the fhr which is always handy against say MB assasins, but gaining ~200 defense and a little fhr at the cost of the massive +life, +skill (this is very important you need high +skill for good hammer damage) and +mana bonuses isnt worth it.
