without fhr they will always be compared (in d2r) to sanders boots. we dont really need res on our boots (anya, viper, if no viper builds, then res can still be picked up elsewhere) since lld is played in normal. Would need FHR, 5dex, Mana. these boots would be used by players playing in hell.

A few paladin amulets here:

There are multiple types of paladin builds for LLD and MLD, Charger, Hammerdin, Libby, V/T.

Bitter Scarab I would rate 6.5/10, its 2/10/40/60. with Spirit, Anya and Viper paladins really dont need cold res, so its pretty much a 4 mod amulet.
Wraith Collar I would rate 6/10, while it does not need fcr for a charger, it does need alot of mana. so this is not really a trophy. the repl is gravy but because the duels are not long, we would prefer mass mana. repl on top of mass mana would do wonders for this one.
Raven Mark I would rate 5/10. i would consider a lesser version of Wraith Collar

The D2og comparables would look like this:

Plague Scarab 9.5/10
Storm Clasp 8.5/10
Plague Wing 9/10
Enthropy Emblem 9/10
Eagle Eye 9.5/10 (charger amulet)
Corruption Collar 9.2/10 (charger amulet)
Doom Noose 9.4/10 (charger amulet)

Thats a very rare craft! 2light/17fcr under level 50 is the basic requirement for a MLD light sorc. its rarer then a 2pala/20fcr/60 life amulet. I would rate that 7.5/10

In terms of MLD Light Sorc's, you can play Vita Light or ES Light, Or simply choose whether you want to cast energy shield or not. With an Orb (2light/20fcr/3lightning/3mastery) its optimal to play vita noting your mana pool is greatly reduced when switching out spirit for orb and frosts for mages. while at level 30 the damage received in general (apart from a charger or decked out barbarian) is "palatable", at MLD the damage across the board is far more then at any other dueling bracket 9,18,30,49,HLD; therefore if using a 2/17 amulet you would have to play vita noting es will invariably manaburn you and just cause alot of mana problems across the build.

Setup to get to 117fcr = Orb(20)+Belt(10)+Viper(30)+Circ(20)+Gloves(20)+Amulet(17) = 117

The optimal level to craft 2skill/20fcr amulets is 93. The problem for MLD is that when crafting, the more mods a crafted amulet has, the higher the required level of the end amulet. This is way invariably crafted 2/17(or 2/20) or just plain 2skill tab amulets are level 52. The way around this is to either hope for less mods to spawn on the amulet, or to craft at a lower level (say, level 54). As rare lld/mld amulets at the end of the day can spawn 2light/10fcr/60life/10repl/90mana and that the best you can hope for from a MLD craft amulet is only 2light/17fcr/20+90mana or 2light/17fcr/60 life + 20 mana (or 2light/17fcr/10 repl), and noting these are very hard to craft, you will see very very few MLD craft amulets with 17+ fcr.

Here are 2 D2og comparables. The best crafted light amulets I have seen:

I would rate the 1st 9.8/10 and the 2nd 9.8/10 as well { you simply cannot craft much better then this for lvl 49}. As your invariably playing Vita you dont need mana on a light amulet, but 110 mana on a cold would be gg. I cant see the use of a 2fire/20fcr/110 amulet - the rares just look better).

very hard to rate that nec shield when the best shield that ever spawned is on page 1 XD without 3 bone spirit, its a nec v nec exclusive head. so well, very isolated use.
