As your level gets higher you can remove precision helm for Helm of Sprits and Precision armor for Harmony (or of Stars works too, I just prefer Harmony, .15 second hit recovery!).
Assuming everything is perfect stats.
At level 30 it will give you perfect block with 160 dex.
At level 50 you'll get perfect block at 120 dex.
Max resists the entire way.
Optimal mana pool + hp + damage + life recovery.
Extra stat boost from a Royal Circlet (it's the only thing a LAW needs/wants from the RC anyway) is kind of fail because a helm of stars can do better and give you a prefix to work with as well. And 40 extra mana is pointless when faced with the prospect of gaining life back with every attack you do.
A LAW without a Helm of Sprits is either starting his life in hell/hell at level 30, just doesn't have one yet, or fails for thinking a RC is better.
I prefer RC over HOS, and needless to say, my warrior not only doesnt fail but is in fact pretty dominant 90% of the time......having 360+ mana with 180-205 dmg (plus 50% chance critical hit) is pretty damn sick. I use KSOV on many lvls in co-ops, which is actually more efficient then HOS anyway. On lvls with Maws or Storms or mages I have to go haste w/o the use of an HOS since I dont carry one, but this is a very minor setback at worst IMO. So I have to use a few pots on these type of lvls. Not a big deal really, since with 50% crit and my dmg everything dies very quickly anyway for HOS to be ultra efficient.
Ive always found HOS somewhat overrated.
Both my law and high ac setup on my warrior are nearly perfect and neither involves the use of HOS:
Law setup
Obsidian Mail of the Stars - 40/11
Obsidian Shield of the Tiger - 39/50, 20 ac
RC
Kings Bastard Sword of Vampires or Speed
Drakes Amulet of the Zodiac - 50/20
Drakes Ring of the Zodiac - 46/19
Dragons Ring of the Zodiac - 55/20
if I want to go high ac, I swap the Obs Stars mail for Awesome Plate of the Stars (74/149/9) and the 46/19 Drake Zodi with an 38/19 Obsidian Zodi ring....mana still well over 300, ac 270+...
even if I did like HOS alot, I carry my PvP gear on him too so I wouldnt have the room for it anyway.
Spells on warrior can be very effective but it sounds like you have a low magic attribute, and it also depends on what lvl your warrior is. The higher your magic attribute, the more accurate your fireballs will hit. But in hell/hell u need to have a fairly high clvl and above average gear for this, of course. As for telekilling soulies, just use KsoV, which is again, overall more efficient then HOS. My warrior is having between 125-130 magic so his casting is quite deadly, and with the use of KsoV its possible to mini mage some lvls even.
D1 is a mana based game, not life based :)
