'''Herald of Zakarum''' is an exceptional [[Unique Paladin Items|Unique Paladin Shield]] with an item level of 50 and a Character Level requirement of 42.
The Herald of Zakarum is a very useful item, one of the best shields in the game for a [[Paladin]], easily good enough to use in Hell/Act 5. Only a [[Stormshield]] is better, depending on your other equipment, and how much you need the reduced damage that it has, and the Herald doesn't. Though only an exceptional item, it's pretty hard to find, as Gilded Shields are in a very crowded Treasure Class [[TC_33-60| Armor 51]], and class specific items drop at 1/3 the rate of normal items.
==Notes==
{{Shield basics}}
Class-specific items are much like other items. They have a variety of stats and types, can be found magical, Rare, Unique, and sometimes in Sets as well. The real difference is that these items can only be used by one character class, and they can have random bonuses to individual skills, much like the ones you see on wands/staves/scepters in Diablo II. This is in contrast with magic items possessing class-specific [[Prefix#.2B_points_to_Skill_Levels|Skill Level]] and [[Prefix#.2B_points_to_Paladin_Skill_Trees|Paladin Skill Tree]] prefixes, which may be used by classes other than the [[Paladin]] without benefiting from the skill modifiers, and [[Scepters]], which can possess inherent bonuses of +1-3 skill points to up to three Paladin skills from any of his skill trees.
Paladins get special shields for their class-specific items in the Expansion. These shields can have inherent bonuses to individual Paladin skills, just like scepters, and can also have +to skill trees or all Pal skills. In addition, paladin shields often have +to all resistances as an inherent property. This bonus can range from 5-45% resist all, and you can get resistance affixes and even socket diamonds on top of that.
* In 1.10 of the Expansion the odds of gambling a Unique is 1 in 2000.
* Exceptional Uniques are found only in the Diablo II Expansion, not in Diablo II Classic.
{{Blocking basics}}
==Key==
* [[Item Level]]: Chests and monsters must be at least this level to drop the item. Ilvl is used in gambling, sales and other calculations as well.
* [[Clvl]] Req: Your character must be this level or higher to equip the item. No [[Uniques]] had Clvl requirements prior to v1.07 D2.
