a nmfk din can utilise irathas easilly and equipped with shard and ward is very easy to solo 8 player cs games

by nmfk din i mean a din that maxes Hammer, vigor, holy shield conc but NOT AIM

my nmfk is using irathas shard ward and is currently lvl 71 and solo's like a dream

Irathas, Shard, and Ward will do very little damage, and if you're only clearing NM cs, you're better off using a sorceress to teleport and kill. You can fill the four slots taken by Irathas with much better gear, and if you want to clear hell CS with players in the game, you will need skills from your shield.

As far as strength, I never add strength, but many players have fewer resources than I do, and it is better for them to add a few points to strength than to lack FCR/resists which will lead to them dying.

there are some questions from me.

how much mana is necessary for hdin? (before/after bo)
sometimes i faced mana shortage issue when not using shard.

and if i have to sacrifice either resist or skill to run cs, which should i take?
west classic market is totally dead on jsp and i cant afford any decent gears here

1.play euscl
2.base energy for din
3.res>dmg

sticky

Even without shard, you should be fine at level 70+, if you really need more mana you can get some off of rings, amulet, armor, boots, or even 10 energy off a helm.

Never sacrifice fire or light resist, you can always do a bit less damage and work with others in pub CS runs. There isn't much of a west market on JSP or even on West, East and Europe are much more active.
