its jeweler's monarch of deflecting.
its very rare in single player,but i heard its good due to its flexibility (4open sockets) while still maintain good blocking chance (+20 increase blocking/+30 fast block rate).

Mmmm Jmod *droolz*
Extremely rare (magic item)
4 sockets and +20 increased block +30 fast block rate
Thus letting zons who have to socket it with 5/5 light facets and making it easier to reach 75 block rate, which means less into dex & more into life.

It is very rare on the realms too. It's one of the most expensive items in the game - if you can actually find someone who has one to sell.
If you socket it with four perfect lightning facets you will have +20% light damage, and -20% enemy light resistance. And due to the 20% increased chance to block you can achieve 75% Blocking with a reasonable Dex investment. This is I think the best possible shield in the game for a Light Zon. It is also one of the best options in the game for a Light Sorc.
You can achieve the same damage effect with any old 4socket monarch, but you can probably forget Max Blocking unless you're going to make severe sacrafices in Vitality - or you make some very funky gear choices.
Personally I don't think JMoD is worth it for a PvM Zon - you'll have 50%+ D/A/E and about 40% or so chance to block with an ordinary monarch, which is plenty for PvM. PvP... it will make a big difference.
can u please give me a picture of JMOD?
wat jewels/items do i neeed to socket?
thx

All it is is a 4 socket monarch, with a blocking modifier.
Look at a 4socket monarch and that is exactly what it looks like. But in the description when you hold the mouse over it the top in blue letters says "Jewelers Monarch of Deflecting" and at the bottom in blue letters says "20% Increased chance of Blocking and 30% Faster Block Rate" "4 sockets".
You fill it with 5/5 Light Factets.
Here's one:

I'm probably just a dork, but if I ever found a JMoD, I'd stuff it full of Sols and give it to a Baba or Pally. PDR ftw!

Why? Hel+tpscroll and you can remake it anytime. Style > everything.

Pdr is underrated. The fact is that most people don't even know what it is. The fact that you lol:ed points out that fact. :azn:
For some builds, it's simply awesome. No joke.

He's right. PDR can literally make some builds invincible.

No joke. Throw on 120 PDR sometime and give your merc a Reaper's Toll or a Lawbringer. You become pretty much immune to every physical attack in the entire game, except for some rare ES/Fana combos on naturally strong enemies.
Only hard part about PDR builds is maxing the resists, but if you can pull it off, they're GODLY.

Bugged vipers suddenly seems much less scary. Though......, PDR would probably be useless against grief, wouldn't it. :tongue:

PDR is pretty much useless in PvP, yes. I don't play PvP, though, so I'd stuff those holes full of sols and go out a-hunting.

nope, no joke. decent xDR is one of the greatest mods you can have for PvM.

yup. Ernir once did an experiment with a xDR barb standing in the centre of Listers pack getting pounded on. i think it took some THREE MINUTES of getting belted before they had dinged the barb enough that Ernir felt moved to "pop a juve, terminate the experiment and terminate Listers pack".
his verdict was "the closest thing to PvM Immortality"

hehe, i have something i rekon is better than a JDoLE. THIS piece of headgear (http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/8599/2236ccolebr0.jpg) generally lives on my nihl-running ilkori'sins bonce and this one item renders that toon essentially immune to the Vipers and virtually indestructable PvM (note: i'm also running 50% dr on that sin along with the xDR).
that hat also gets a LOT of use when i'm building a new pvp char. as we all know, dieing while over level 90 really sucks. being a lazy git, i tend to dope up on xDR, mDR and other survival mods to minimise deaths and the associated XP loss. i take a big hit on killing power, but thats what the seven other plebs in the game are there for. my latest 'sin had that helm, a 25DR ammy, Sol'd Viper, raven/dwarf/t-gods and maxxed res while levelling.
i have HC playing friends who tell me that hat would be ludicrously valuable if it was on HC (like: more valuable than a legit, HC pCoA)
now, as mentioned, xDR and mDR are all well and good in the PvM world, but when theres a 20k charge or a 20k fireball being thrown at your face by another player, it doesn't do you a whole lot of good.

That Res/PDR circlet would be super-juicy, but I doubt it'd be worth more than a legit perfect CoA. If you start with the right level Circlet, you the odds of cubing one are a heckuvalot better than the odds of a CoA dropping, and the odds of it getting 2os are better than the odds of said CoA being perfect. I understand there's also the issue of desireability, but PDR is a pretty underground mod that most people don't even think twice about. There'd be much more market for that CoA.
A fun thing for you to try might be cubing for a Prismatic Amulet of Life Everlasting to go with that bad boy, though. 1 PGem of each type (not counting Skulls) + 1 magical amulet = 1 Prismatic Amulet. The odds of it getting the "of Life Everlasting" suffix are actually pretty good, since the amulet is always ilvl 50 (and Life Everlasting first becomes available at ilvl 45). Imagine pairing such an amulet with that circlet- you could get 40% Resist All and 60 PDR from two pieces of gear.
The Prismatic recipe has a 1-in-206 chance of producing a Prismatic of Life Everlasting. Of course, the chances from there are going to be lower that you get a HIGH Prismatic of Life Everlasting, but the odds look a heckuvalot better than most MF chances, that's for sure.

ditto, i once had a chromatic ammy of life everlasting (20+/20+ :sad2: ). before i even got to use it, i done lose it x'ferrin to a char i was levelling.....
- - - -
SSoG: hmm, i tend to reroll high ilvl charms or craft caster ammy's with pgems i come across. six pgems is pretty expensive.
if i ever go into HC in any real way, i'll be doing that for sure,

It's pretty useless in PvP, but there are a lot of deviant builds that would love to get their hands on that hat for PvM purposes.
