FBR is good and sometimes essential lol

Well u can get away without it but its nice to have yes

Dmg- Akod w/ 3x 20/9 or 20/6/9 if you don't care about str glitch boots

Stylish dmg- 30/20/5 rep/2 socket with 2x 20/9 - add whatever mods you can to shield, life/mana/plr/hfd/etc.

Low mana zon- eths in whatever shield you choose

Definitely get 30/20 for fbr. Could even do a shael + 2x eths or jewels akod if you feel like you need to more fbr vs some chars.

To answer your question, add mana/life/dtm to whatever jewels you can get. Res aren't ideal since you will want the same on bow side. You got the right idea.

Shael sounds very interesting.
If I’m not mistaken fury can be blocked. In that case, in a javelin shoot-out, that might be the thing to turn the duel to your advantage?

Are we talking tvt or zvz?
I personally like shields with deflect/5 life rep. You lose a socket but imo stacking the rep is worth it.

Pro tip/ party with a hammerdin. Pew pew arrows all day with insight out.

Shael + eth + eth was iirc what ferdia had on my east zon. in an AKSOD ofc

Tvt, mostly xD but you could end up in a shoot-out like that, and it’s probably useful in other scenarios as well.

On eu only 20repl is allowed. I’d rather hit max on bow.
In that case, since I will probably use death’s set, the only really useful adds on a shield would be mana, life and dgtm. I don’t think the perfect shield would beat that extra jewel

In a tvt you are on bow side a lot. Or running away from danger while also life repping. I think 3 sockets is overrated but to each their own

Well, since I can’t pick repl on shield and since fhr is rather useless, the trade-off would be 20ed 9dex vs 5mana and 20life (20/9/15/12 jewel - possible?/20life 20mana 12dgtm shield). Shield could have one more add, but nothing really useful afaik.

yea, there's no mod combination that will beat 1 socket in that case
