Shield for Exile and Spirit

[w-igor]

is kurast a good shield for exile? is vortex the best shield for it if i can handle str req ?

[rata]

the best shield for exile and spirt are very different.

imo the best shield for exile is a glitched eth sacred targe because of its higher block %, however, everyone on bnet likes an eth vortex due to its higher overall def (u decide).

the best shield for spirit is an sacred targe due to its high block %

hope this helps

thanks
how can i see if the shield is bugged? how to make it bugged? and... just what does it mean it's bugged? :)

Bugged shields have higher defence. You can bug ethreal shields by making socs to them in cube.

1 Tal Rune + 1 Amn Rune + 1 Perfect Ruby + Normal Shield = Socketed Shield of same type

When you make socs to an ethreal item in cube it counts the 50% def bonus again which results up in higher defence.

Please note that the amount of sockets you get by using that recipe will be random.. You could have a 45 res ethereal vortex and have it get 1 socket. Which isn't much use for anything
