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.

* List of [[Unique Paladin Items|Unique Paladin Shields]].
  
'''Blocking % in the Expansion''': The way blocking works is changed in the expansion. The new formula for blocking is:
+
{{Blocking basics}}
  
Total Blocking % = [Blocking x (Dexterity – 15)] / (Character Level x 2)
+
==Notes==
If your character is moving, then % chance to block is reduced to 1/3 of its original value.
+
* All Paladin-only shields can have +1–3 points in up to 3 individual skills from all three of his skill trees.
 
+
* The Block listed here is Base Blocking.
 
+
* The hue and color of base items in Diablo II can vary greatly, depending on the item's modifiers.
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.
+
* [[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.

{{Shield notes}}
 
 
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===
 
<nowiki>*</nowiki> 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 [[TC_33-60| Armor 51]], and class specific items drop at 1/3 the rate of normal items.

Latest revision as of 09:23, 14 October 2016

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 Skill Level and 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.

Blocking Basics[edit]

Main article: Blocking

Blocking % in Classic: Characters block at the % listed on the shield (when equipped) + any other bonuses. Total blocking is capped at 75%. A character can get more than this with a good shield + Twitchthroe, or a Paladin can use his Holy Shield skill, but no matter how high the display is, 75% is all that can be blocked. This is while standing still, running, walking, fighting, casting spells, etc.

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)

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 %. Blocking is capped at 5% minimum and 75% maximum and displays if you hover on your Defense in the Character window. Sorcs and Necros who do not devote considerable resources to raising their dexterity will find their blocking at a very low level above Clvl 50, so should pick shields based on their magical bonuses, not for the blocking percent.

  • Blocking is reduced to 33% of this value when running, but uses regular values when walking, standing still, or melee attacking.


Notes[edit]

  • All Paladin-only shields can have +1–3 points in up to 3 individual skills from all three of his skill trees.
  • The Block listed here is Base Blocking.
  • The hue and color of base items in Diablo II can vary greatly, depending on the item's modifiers.
  • 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.
  • Listed Blocking: All shields vary in blocking percent by character. The Paladin's is always 5% higher than an Amazon/Assassin/Barbarian, and 10% higher than a Druid/Sorceress/Necromancer.
  • Weight: All shields are light, medium, or heavy. Light shields have no negative effects, medium have a -5% speed and -5% stamina regen rate, and heavy have -10% speed and -10% stamina regen.
  • Speed: A penalty governed by weight; 0 is no penalty, 5 is slightly slower running and stamina regen (but rounds to 0 anyway) and 10 is a bigger running speed and stamina regen penalty. % Faster Block Rate can lower this number to below zero.
  • Smite Damage: Only Paladins have the Smite skill, so only they see this damage. It's only of importance to other characters when considering a trade.


Normal[edit]

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.
