Talking to myself, a few thoughts occured to me after I finnaly posted this. Smite is very useful to an foh build with lowish are because it always hits, also a good 4 socket elite paladin shield with a resist all modifier is great, the sacred targe is among the best since it has the highest base block% and lowest reqs (all elite paladin shields average the same smite damage effectively) and I'd just plop 4 diamonds in this sucker so you're covered on resists while smiting... and it's a good shield to have around if you ever make a devoted smite paladin as it can provide 100% res all, and a good hunk of damage as well.
