Nah, only a Stormshield can really complete with a Herald. The 4D shield does often more resist, but it's really only more useful in certain situations. (Maybe act 4)

After all, the herald offers 75% blocking, and faster block, plus +2 Paladin skills and 2 combat skills which makes you kill better. I suppose it's a matter of preference, but with the 69-72 resist you can get with it (socketed with a diamond or um rune.) is usally enough since you have other equipment. +20 Str helps you equip other stuff and +20 vit is what I consider sort of a resistance to all types of damage.

Of course the 4D shield has to have more resist. Wouldn't it be pretty silly to throw in something that makes everything of its type redundant? *Cough* Titan's Revenge.


The two shields I have seen so far don't have any outstanding mods.

But, I will have to agree. The unique scepters are medicore and pretty bad for melee and the top set cannot be found. And is not that great unless you have tons of godly jewels.
