If not educate me on what might be a contender? Perhaps throw up a pic? Does it need to be 4os I'm presuming?

4 open sockets and instead of resists it needs 65enhanced damage and 121 attack rating or as close as possible to those mods

Why the dodge on resists? Are they easy to cap at lvl 9 or 19?

Yes and there aren’t really any elemental duelers until level 30

actually, for max dmg jewels, use a resist shield, to avoid the ed/max bug,

right??

No

Case 1: Item has innate %ED. You socket with a +Max or +Min Jewel. No bug.

What's this bug you guys are talkin about?

Whenever you place a jewel with enhanced dmg AND min or max dmg it only applies to enhanced dmg to the opposite range of dmg from what the jewel gives. (Weapons they work how they are supposed to)

So if you have a 20% enhanced dmg / 8 min dmg jewel and socket it into a helm. You will get 8 min dmg added to your total on screen min dmg and 20% ed to your total on screen max dmg, but it will not apply to your min at all. It’s a bug, when you use the same jewel in a weapon it works as it should. Only in armor type items does this bug happen. Now there is an order to socketing too. If you have a jewel with 20%ed only and a second jewel with a flat 8 min dmg. You can place the the ed jewel in first and then the min dmg jewel second and it will not bug. That’s why you can put flat dmg jewels in a knights mod paly shield and it doesn’t bug. Same with circlets with base ed.

Throw in some chipped rubies and you have a perfect anti-bishibosh shield
