Most say storm shield, but I have my eye on a phoenix monarch 400% ed(maybe) redemption aura, fire storm life bonus. where can U go wrong?

Using dupes are wrong....find a JAH lately?

**jasonmazzy** · 29-02-2008, 21:34

not using dupes to my knowledge. Just been hording pgems and med runes and uniques and trading for higher runes. What exactly is a dupe, as in someone makes one? And I do know there are ppl who farm em, and that aint really nice but, if its the only way we can get one and its affordable, why shouldn't we use it?

Apparently he's found Vex + Vex + Lo + Jah for Phoenix, Stinger.

But really Jason, you haven't been playing that long. Get a Guardian or two without the 1337 dupes and maybe you'll reevaluate how much you need them.

2 pgem'd Moshers or a Sanctuary is a great shield for pretty much any char. Gerke's also rocks. I'd take any of these 3 shield over phnx for a bear. You'll find that assuming you have max speed of 4fpa the firestorm ctc will slow your attacking greatly. If your FC then the phy portion isnt terribly important.

oh the block rate also stinks on phnx shield, and it blocks slow to boot.

IMO phnx has it use on Fire Pallies/smiters
Barbs (ie ww and the ctc doesnt go off)
Javazons for mana control.

For the cost of making this shield you can make several other top runewords
0.02

Guardian is the title you get when you beat hellmode in hc on lod.

hey I agreed I hadn't played online much, but I thought guardian was reffeering to an easily popped item. Didn't think U were actually talking about beating hell. I knew that, just misunderstood what u were saying.
