gl man, although I will stick with up'd hoz also

This shield has a base equivalency of 65% ed and while this is not impressive as it is about half the damage of up'd HoZ, it has4 open sockets.
That means by using jewels it can attain a maximum damage equivalence (assuming 1 socket is used for a ber rune) of 212% ed (3x 40ed/9str jewels)
That is almost twice the effective damage equivalency of up'd hoz!
This shield also provides flexibility: for example one can use ed/str/dex/lr or ed/str/ar/res jewels to create a shield that has higher damage equivalency than hoz, more base lightning resistance than hoz, and more attack rating than hoz.
Lets take a look at that in detail:
If socketed with average jewels of 27ed/9str/50ar/25 lr then the shield will have an equivalency of 173% ed (65(base ed)+27 (str)+81(ed)) and have 75 base lightning res with 271 base attack rating
This makes it a higher damage, lower requirement, higher resistance, higher attack rating shield than hoz. For those that use phase blades this can also be jeweled with similar jewels that have 9dex instead of ar and will greatly assist with meeting the dex requirement (which in turn acts as 81 boable life, assuming all 27 points of dex can be used).
