is it worth it just to have? base defense is more of a trophy collector thing, right?
-have any of you ever done ubers with a not-so-godly shield?

if so, what was it and how was your experience?

although this game is so old, this is the first time i've done ubers, ever. on this ladder reset.

Exile has life tap and +max res. Defense also may not be important, but smite damage could be.

sacred rondache has pretty high smite base damage. plus i usually wear a sick 215ed/30res [greater hauberk] Fortitude, which already has over 1600 def. idk, i'ma try it.
next post will be about my experience.

Exile is a good shield. Herald of Zakarum is even better.

Exile best because of life tap (and all other good stats)

def doesn't matter
exile is only good because of life tap
you can get life tap somewhere else and use hoz and beat ut faster

Apparently a 4 x Sol shield >

I am always staring ubers with sanctuary runeword in pala shield (high res) never had any problems.
