Yes, this is a LoD character. My concern is whether or not the investment into dex is worth it. Here's my logic:
The only reasons to invest in Holy Shield are to:
1) Achieve good blocking. Which MUST be supplemented with an investment in dex (at the cost of vit).
2) Use Smite. In that case I'd have to invest the strength in using a good pally shield, max smite, and perhaps max holy shield as well.
Another dilemma: to use the un-party friendly skill Redemption would only cost 1 point and a bit of in game time (standing around after a battle). Using the party-friendly Meditation will require more (I don' tknow how much) than a 1 point investment. If I plan on maxing Concentration and Blessed Hammer and also investing heavily Smite/Holy Shield, this might not be a viable option.
Need help....
