Introduction

lass 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.

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 5-35% resist all, and you can get resistance affixes and even socket diamonds on top of that.

Blocking % in the Expansion: The way blocking works is changed in the expansion. The new formula for blocking is:

Total Blocking % = [Blocking x (Dexterity – 15)] / (Character Level x 2)

If your character is moving, then % chance to block is reduced to 1/3 of its original value.


This formula basically means that if you have less than half of your stat points into Dexterity, you will have a lower block rating than your shield displays, but if more than half of your stat points are in Dex, then you will have a higher blocking %. The blocking animation is seen much more often in the expansion and can interrupt your attack or escape. Blocking is reduced to 33% of normal when attacking or running, but uses regular values when walking or standing still.

Inherent Bonuses

All Paladin-only shields can have +1-3 points in up to 3 individual skills from all three of his skill trees. In addition each paladin shield will have one of the following bonuses. The percent chance of getting each one is based on the monster dropping the shield being of a high enough level to generate any of the mods.

  • Item Level: Used in many in-game calculations. Monsters must be of this level to drop the item, and it factors in when you get to gamble for this item type as well.
  • Weight: All Paladin shields are light. Medium and Heavy shields slow run speed and add stamina drain.
  • Shield Weight: All Paladin shields are "light", and have no running speed or stamina drain penalties. Medium and Heavy shields do.

Notes

The Herald 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 is has, and the Herald doesn't.

There is an elite Paladin shield, the Zakarum Shield, but this item has no relation to the Herald of Zakarum, other than similar names.

Though only an exceptional item, it's pretty hard to find, as Gilded Shields are in a very crowded Treasure Class (Armor 51), and class specific items drop at 1/3 the rate of normal items.
