help with shield

It has to be higher then that. My non eth had about 710 def.

Yeah, well they weren't perfect though. But you can get really high D ratings with high level Holy Sheild. I'd also, for fun and some strategy, equip a Doom weapon and get a Bramble, and then buy a Might Merc and get 5 auras going! (Holy Freeze, Might, Thorns, Defiance, (insert aura you like here, most likely Concentrate or Fanaticism))

A PERFECT Eth Vortex Exile would be 1213 DEF.

225 (max def on a Vortex) * 1.5 (Ethereal Trait) = 337 def

337 * 3.6 (perfect ed% on exile runeword) = 1213

That would be a smiting-ass shield.

ok thnxs vortex it is -.-
btw when i said eth zak i dont mean an eth hoz, i meant an eth zakarum shield to make exile
