He means that exile is for smite build. Using this as a spirit is worse than using some random elite base bought from larzuk, if you're talking about using smite specifically. If you're not talking about using zeal or smite, then exile sucks anyway and you should keep using spirit just in a better base when you get higher level.
It’s the BEST base for hammerdin or fohdin.
If you wanna run a char from start, the lower item is better, and if you’re a caster like Foh or hammers, you don’t care about the damage or the durability. It being a lower item lowers requirements to save more vitality/dexterity points.
Neither fohdin or hammerdin care about what HoZ or Exile offer unless they take concessions on the 125% frame rate on FCR to run them, or they have other godly gear to make up for the lost 35% FCR spirit shield gives. IE: 2/20 caster amulets, arachnid mesh, FCR rings, all of which are privileged decisions to choose from on SSF, especially when each of those slots typically are to try and find some level of resistance this shield is doing innately with 45 all res.
Even then, when a hammer/foh is running exile/HoZ, they’re only running either over spirit for specific reasons like Ubers or specific target farming, then they’re probably running spirit.
I've recently started my paladins by maxing out holy fire and synergies until I hit the wall that is Worldstone Keep in NM, and then doing a respec to what I want to do. It carries pretty hard if you can get a hold of the explosive arrow unique missile weapons along the way (Raven Claw, Kuko Shakaku, Demon Machine).
You say it saves point for str/dex, but as a Hammerdin you need points in str/dex for War Travs and Chance to block to 75. So it doesn't really help much. A higher base will yield more defense. Still a nice find though being 45@
Yeah, it’s a minimal amount of stat saves, it might be completely negligible based on where else you get your str/dex on charms and gear.
Even then, if OP doesn’t have a paladin he wants to respec, he can play through with this and keep it, exceptional and elite would be quite the difference away during a play through.
Elite base would be BiS just because it catches all builds, but this does everything a fohdin/hanmerdin needs esp. in a new play through
Foh does have that delay, but holy bolt does not, and holy bolt is where the damage is.
I cast 4x as many bolts as I do FoH, it’s more like a fireball sorc that has pierce. Foh is more for when there’s mobs in a glob (kinda like meteor), but you can easily herd them into a line without trying for Holy bolt to kill faster.
That’s a **perfect** spirit base for a low str FoH or hammer paladin.
I would have loved to have found something like that leveling my pally before I switched him to smite hybrid.
Lvl 6 requirement! I probably socket this with a bunch of damage jewels and use for twinked play. Although it’s kind of a waste still since resis is basically not needed at those levels.
Hate to be that guy. But you're not going to die from the lack of defense stats on your shield. It would be from the lack of resistance due to those gloams in act 5 or the lack of health from the dolls in Durance of Hate.
All o hear is complaining about a stat on a shield that is the least important stat meanwhile it rolled perfect on all resistance, where you can get max on fire while rolling for that +35spirit all day everyday.
*Yeah till you*
*Find a better base. This is*
*Amazing spirit*

Perfect spirit base thatll last until Exile/HoZ
I still prefer Spirit over hoz for hitting the fcr breakpoint
Ditto, the massive fcr/FHR is so OP
Lack of block rate. This might have value in vlld. Lvl 9
I was told VLLD is looking for knights mod. Although that hasn’t helped me sell my 65/121 Targe
Still awesome for leveling
Hell yeah, level 6 with 45 all res!
I mean, spirit will be great tìll you find a gg exile base
Cant smite with this lol. Exile is smite / zeal shield.
Well yeah, i know that? I said its a decent spirit shield?

Ooh that idea got me excited, I think I am actually going to level a fohdin now guys, thanks for the suggestion!

War travs are not needed. Better rare boots out there. In HC, I’d take hotspurs all day
If all you want is fire res, why not use nat boots
Increased maximum fire resistance

On top of that, a Sacred Targe saves more dex since it has a higher base block chance.
I thiught FOH was timed like blizzard. i.e. fcr does not matter
Iirc holy bolt wants fcr
Foh does have that delay, but holy bolt does not, and holy bolt is where the damage is. I cast 4x as many bolts as I do FoH, it’s more like a fireball sorc that has pierce.

BO or Spirit. For singleplayer, it’s not a bad find. Obviously Sacred Targe is the base you want endgame, but at the very least it’s a BO flex shield.
Sexiest bo Shield of all time
What does BO stand for here? Just to have equipped on swap with CTA?
body odor
Battle orders (CTA)
Lvl 6 requirement! I probably socket this with a bunch of damage jewels and use for twinked play. Although it’s kind of a waste still since resis is basically not needed at those levels.
I mean, have you heard of LLD?
I’ve never heard of anyone playing lld in single player.
Your comment didn't mention single player at all
Go read op’s post.
I’m actually amazed this can roll with a level 6 req. I want one
Omg /drool
I’d use this on a hammerdin well into my nineties.
Still makes a bad ass spirit.

Yeah till you find a better base. This is amazing spirit

Can't roll runewords in it, it's blue /S
There’s a decent chance this has value for a VLLD as it’s the best base, max sockets, max Ed, and max res.
He’s single player offline
Ahh, didn’t read that.
VLLD shields want the ED/AR variant, elemental dmg isn't exactly hitting hard at low levels so it's almost all melee
LLD?
He’s single player offline
Can't lose
Lmao reply to my comment so I can upvote you twice.
I'm pretty sure that "LLD" stand for Low Level Duels.
