This item is EU SC NL.

I can't seem to find any application for it, but I can't put if out of my head either. Maybe a nice smiter shield?

Maybe you guys can shed some light here:



Pros:
- all 6 mods are very useful, fair to very good rolls (deflecting, 2 sockets, 2 PC skills, fair %ED, -30 requirements, some FHR)
- Very good smite damage (15-24), better than any pala shield for lvl 30 and fairly good base block (48% for pala)
- At level 30, only "Artisan's" mod is available, so versus magic shields it only has just 1 socket less

Cons:
- Not a pala shield, so no automods (baseres, ar/ed)
- Casters will use Spirit
- Lower defense than some pala shields

Comparison versus some pala shields:
- Crown Shield (lvl18): Defense: 30 - 40, 65str, 55% CtB, Smite Damage: 4 - 12, 4 sockets, Light shield (normal)
- Akaran Rondache (lvl 30): Defense: 113 - 137, 44str, 45% CtB, Smite Damage: 15 - 20, 4 sockets, Light shield (exceptional)
- Akaran Targe (lvl 30): Defense: 101 - 125, 59str, 40% CtB, Smite Damage: 12 - 16, 4 sockets, Light shield (exceptional)

I'm not only looking for a pricecheck, but also some considerations/reasons

with these stats it could be ONLY a smiter shield, for any other build 3 soc 30/20 shield is far more superior. (or as you said spirit for casters)
lvl 30 smiters do not use dragon shields thoo... it should have barbed shield base... :\

Thanks, it looked good when comparing them to pala shields (especially smite damage). After some reading i found out that up'd swordback is the de facto standard for lvl30 smite.

18 to 35 versus my 15-24 is just too much damage to give up i guess

Ahhhh well
