Depends on how much risk you wanna run. The only thing that can get you in pvm is freak combo mobs with cursed, aura, extra strong /fast so dr is the main shield vs that along with mb. If you go mb then sure probably worth going less dr but if you don’t have block then you’ll want dr most likely. Depends on the risk you’re willing to run.

Pointless argument anyways since what’s best depends on what you’re trying to do. If you want to clear fast and mf go shako but if you’re trying to not die coa will be better than shako purely for survivability. Also will depend on the skill level of the player ofc how much risk you can run.

Also on d2r at least shit can kill you while you load at wp so you might want some extra buffer for that. Dr and res from coa will always outperform shako in terms of tankiness.



It doesn’t depend on anything.

There is no reason to turtle up.

Addrionally, for everything pvm, shako > coa 100000000000000% of the time

Your argument is that 13% DR (shako has up to 18% DR vs coa 31%) beats:
1 all skill - for damage
3% life - from 1 BO
3% Mana - from 1 BO
148 life
148 mana
2 all stat
50 MF
18 less Str req then a spirit mon - meaning either more stat dump or waste a suffix slot on ring/amulet for Str, thus resulting in even less life

What a terrible argument.


Literally shako is always better than coa for pvm

You forgot 30 fhr and 30 all res + defense. Yes monsters can fhr you. And if your goal is survivability and not getting 2 shot by a freak mob the 18 dr will do more than the life from shako

Done arguing with you on pvm stuff though. Go use shako idc man. But saying it’s better than coa for every situation including survivability is arrogant, ignorant and incorrect.
