Lowest blocking chance from paladin elites shields
Inconsistent damage range, too low min too much max.
The only usage of Vortex shield ever was,
1818 Def Exile 65% Edmg Eth bug shield vs High Defense Melees.
Sacred Targe, Sacred Rondache = Smite Shields
Maximum blocking chance & ballanced damage.
Requirements on sacred targe also best ones.
(Sacred Rondache 0,5dmg better from all shields)
Kurast shield and after that Zakarum shield.
Vortex for smiters is on the bottom,
you can learn this easy friend.
Find Sacred Targe or Sacred Rondache of Colossus,
4 Sox 50-60Life
and Find Rare version one too 2sox with 2/30/20/60-65Edmg 20-40Life and you will have Trophies for smites,
however Phoenix and Spirit are topers.
I think in D2R they fixed Phoenix Runeword Firestorm casting, it didnt reacting/interrupting Smiters attacks and Smite attack do proper damage now.
Phoenix Sacred Targe shield 465% Edmg is best smite shield probably at D2r.
Spirit Sacred Targe Shield 65% Edmg is still and forever Most Ballanced
and Viable shield for any Smiters too.
