Which Paladin Shield??

[xNemesis]

This is for my smiter.

NOTE: The stats are shown in Normal difficulty. ALSO- Without Holy Shield On.

The Um'ed Hoz with my stats:


Or this rare shield i found from hell andy.




I would like a personal preference from someone who has had experience with smiters...also, notice one does more damage, and i would like to know whats better.


Thank you,
xNemesis

upgrade ur hoz. thats better

[xNemesis]

how do i upgrade it?

[L4E]

u can only do it if ur on ladder. check www.battle.net/diablo2exp and then look for the cube recipee to upgrad a unique armor

[Arc]

if your ladder to up ur hoz use lem ko and perfect diamond in the cube
also go with the hoz for better res and more +skills

[georgepotter1]

if your Nl i would just stick with the second till you can get exile just because it gives more dammage but somtimes that changes if HS is on.

I have a smiter, very nice built, my opinion stick with hoz, less damage yes, but the resistance is way greater, better blocking also, and +20 stats? Hoz is by far better, damage dont really need to worry about tell you get exile which owns both =P

[{GoK}]

Yup hoz is the best to go with...In duels it owns just as much as exile and in pvm it owns so its your best bet..

[xNemesis]

well, so far the best shields i have for my smiter is alma negra, hoz, and that rare shield, now im having a really hard time gettin the runes and the best shield for an exile, is there anyone that could tell me if there is an easier way to get one?

[JayKaZZer]

imo i think until the hoz iz uped or u get exile use alma it has the skills and the average dmg is better than the targe or hoz
