Sup 64 ED 104 AR LvL Heraldic Shield (llv 12..LLD?)

[PhenixRising]

I have this shield on my mule and I am going to have to use the quest to get 4 open sockets. I am not sure if I should just put 4 pdiamonds to basically get max resists at lvl 12. Of if someone wants it I'm open to a trade.

I have other exceptional shields w/ the same mod (knights) so I am going to use them for spirits.

Use max damage jewels instead. Resists aren't all that useful in lld, since casters aren't a threat so early on.

thanks for the response, i think i'll keep it open for trade bait but put in some jewels. I have a few 9 max damn.

There's not just casters who do elemental damage.

The real reason why resists aren't *that* important on your gear when LLD is because most people will get rushed and do the quests in all 3 difficulty. 3x Anya quests = 30% resist all which is already a good chunk.

Perfect diamonds have a requirement of level 18.

.

And there are casters that don't do elemental damage at all. Ok elementalists is the proper term. In any case anya resists are bugged and they aren't the reason resists aren't important early on, or not the only reason at least. After all most melee attacks can be blocked to balance things up.

Most elite elemental skills and masteries aren't available at low levels. This isn't the case with melee (dtalon/zeal/smite etc) and the elemental skills that are available usually don't do great damage . In order to boost the skill damage you need +skill items or +damage/-res modifiers (like in facets). Skillers and facets become available well in the 40's and the +skills from gear simply don't cut it. Meleers on the contrary benefit a great deal from those +damage jewels. Elementalists also usually need alot of mana to be efficient, too much perhaps for the early mana pool.

Use the trade forums for all trades. We don't allow trades here.
Thanks!
