Paladin Socketing Question

[Fragbait]

I say socket all 4, one at a time of course and see which one has the most impact.

Hi,

I could do that, yes. I would do it via the backup copy I have of all of my chars. For muling I use the loopback adapter of Win XP, logging in with different users and muling things over while having DII opened two times. No third party programs interfering with DII.

But then again - Especially with the Ist rune, I wouldn't see the results without intensive testing and long time finding statistics. Also I was hoping for break points for the Zeal and Vengeance skills, since I got a +15%ias/+84AR jewel in the Heaven's Light already (not a +33%ed/+15%ias like I stated above ;), so the Heaven's Light is a natural 283%ed 153-199 dam, which isn't so bad :)).
Would I reach the next break point if I socketed a Shael? Would another +15%ias jewel suffice? (I've got a +15%ias/+13maxdam jewel lying around)
If I don't reach any further break points without other sources of ias than the weapon, would you advise a
Perfect Skull? (Life + Mana leech)
Perfect Diamond (possibly the pinch against Undead)
A 40%ed jewel?

I realise that the +84AR/+15%ias jewel I socketed wasn't the best choice. But then again, I wasn't so sure about keeping my act I hireling then, and I hadn't Soul Drainer munching on my opponents def.

Aren't there some socketing specialists out there? I think this deserves a bump. And I think I'm gonna post this at The Amazon Basin, too.
