Newb to LF Zons.. Gear Question...

I just traded for a Stormsheild for my zon and was wondering what I should socket it with. Right now the only other gear I have for her that adds +str is some rare java gloves with +13 str and Tgods, which means I will will be needing 123 or so hard points into str if I do not add a Hel rune to it.

Is the Hel worth it or should I maybe just add a PDiamond to add a bit more resists? Thx in advance!|||if this is for pvm, ditch the stormshield for a spirit and place the hard points into strength. also get rid of tgods and switch to razortail.|||it all depends on what you want out of your char. all are good options. if you wanted more LF damg ive seen people but a light facet into ss. But as Crawlingdeadman stated you should be switching shield/equipment depending on what your doing (pvm or pvp) for me when i pvm i use phoenix for redemption. 4 light facet mon or ss for pvp (havent consider socketing ss as of yet dont really use it)|||Quote:

Ok got a Spirit now. As for the razortail, is the pierce really that much more beneficial then the +3 to LF and +20 str? FWIW I plan on a heavy investment in the pierce skill once LF, CS and Valk are maxed :|||Yes, 100% pierce is absolutely worth it. And why wouldnt you want the extra 19 sps to invest in lightning strike or your other synergies?|||Quote:

Just figured they would be better spent rounding out any possible deficiencies, since LF only gets 1% for each point in synergies.

Meh, doesnt matter to a huge degree since the newsticker in D2 says that ladder will reset in 2 weeks =/|||The solution to strength problems is obvious and its right in front of you: the best armor in the game, enigma|||I dont know where ur getting your enigma from...

Spend the points you save in vit.

Also, razortail is 33% peircing. So you have to get skill up to atleast 77%... and yes, its worth it.

I dont like spending alot of points in dex for max block, i usually just go for as much life as i can with resists on shield... like a mosers with 2 P diamonds. should be findable this early.|||67%, not 77%.
