Seems ppl are saying a bit diff things

Thanks tho

I dont know if you are doing a walkthrough or what but all anyone should really have said is this...

1. Sols are usually not the best option for sockets(I'm not saying they are worthless, they are great, but there is usually something that would work better for you that add things like ias/fhr/resist/life/damage/stats)

2. Both DR% and PDR/MDR are very valuable in PvM. Period.

3. While PDR/MDR is very good, the number of end game items that include it are limited.

Here is a quick list of decent/good uniques that have a significant amount of MDR or PDR.

Valor(10-15 PDR)
GBane(15-20 PDR, 15-20MDR)
Dwarf Star(12-15 MDR) This is a very underrated ring imo for pvm
Gerke's Pavise(11-16 PDR 14-18 MDR) This is an EXTREMELY underrated PvM shield. Sadly not many builds work with it
String of Ears(10-15 MDR)

Runewords

Prudence(PDR 3 17 MDR)
Some others have 7 PDR from Sol and thats it.

Thats pretty much it. Since the pool of items that includes PDR/MDR while also having end game stats besides those mods is so small, it is rarely an attribute that people deem necessary in PvM.

casters should use spirit, melee chars shouldn't use a shield, smiter should use hoz and java should us sth with sockets
I'll agree gerkes is probably better than what people think, still, nobody should use it
