couple of questions regarding P8 solo softcore singleplayer, in which I started as melee pala but know running level ~50 Hdin in a3 nightmare

1) when do 4 socketed swords start to drop for spirit sword?
2) does it already make sense to build spirit shield on 20all res base or when do higher res bases start dropping (hell?) ?
3) found a non-eth 4sox poleaxe, use already for insight? or is there plenty of better options to be expected soon? (elite weapons only dropping in hell?!)
4) maxblock necessary? currently running on 35% block with shield, only spent few points in holy shield as well as dex --> crucial to have (in hell) ?! Or would you recommend a certain level of block?
5) skill try, after maxing hammer and conc, max holy shield first or put points into vigor?
6) which armor to aim for long-term? Stealth seems pretty solid (still), as runes are scarce!?


Ty!

Both long sword and broad sword get 4 soc max in normal cows and nm if you want to use quest for one, otherwise nm is where they will start to drop with max socket.

As for shields and insight, use any and just keep upgrading as you find better.

Not using at least 60% block on a pally even pvm is leaving a lot of defense off the table.

Edit: hs is 1 point until your synergies are maxed

And craft caster belts.
If you get decent enough rolls on spirits will free up gloves for tri resist rares or resist rings.

Actually didnt think about this
