Hello guys after a lot of farming i finally got a Gyrfalcon's Foote to drop so i can check out a blessed shield build, however i need to enchant a socket for it,
the options are either 6% damage or 8% Cooldown reduction. I asked a friend, and he told me i should get rid of the 6% dmg for the socket and keep the 8% CDR, what do you guys think?
i would say keep the CDR and get rid of the damage. My logic being yes you may lose a little damage but you'll be able to pop AC more often or w/e CD spells you use. I'm usually really bad when it comes to decisions like this and just say F' it, pick one and go one with my day.
Depends on how you want to take the spec, most do perma AC. Goal is 50-55% CDR for perma. So either cdr if you have enough and are wanting to go that way or 6% dmg.
Drop cdr for socket, you dont need perma AC for BS build, you need as much dmg as you can get, use cain, augh and blackthorn sets. Its a shame the 6 isnt higher, thats a great avg dmg roll and this would be insane with a 10% roll. Still good tho.

thanks for the feedback guys, my main sader is a perma AC Holy shotgun Crusader...I got pretty decent Akhan pieces also....i created a 2nd sader to have him as BS setup using exactly the gear peices montanx suggested (BT, Aug and Cain), it's kind of a test for now.
suggestions are 3 vs 3 on each option now....so I am still kinda undecided.
if i keep the 8% CDR (loosing 6% base DMG) it gives me the option of trying a perma AC build with my full akhan set.....however sheet DPS will drop in a perma AC a lil bit more because the need to have CDR on gloves instead of one of the crit stats. Perma AC has +35% more damage, 150% more armor and would prevent 1 death (prophet rune)
If I drop the CDR I will only gain 6% Base DPS....buth the gear setup suggested(BT, Aug and Cain) has a lot of set bonuses, Cain (8% IAS), Augs (7% Reduced damage vs ranged and melee, and 15 DGM VS Elites and 15 red Dam vs elites) and Blackthornes (10 DGM VS Elites and 10 red Dam vs elites) with are a lot of good bonuses as well
the dilema would be what's better, the perma AC with less sheet DPS, or full on DPS with all these bonuses and using AC on boss battles only.
my friend said 6% dmg it's not that much, and like one person here said also, he said CDR is HUGE for saders, maybe he's right, it's just 6% less of my epenn (diabloprogress) profile.......after all this writing and analisis I might agree with him and the 3 persons that said to keep CDR in this post...
Definitely get rid of the 6% damage, it won't affect your sheet too much, and saders clear T6 with 500-600k anyways so it's not like we need to flex our epeens to clear content.
Also, you can get 6 set Akkhans and your choice of 3 set Aughild's or Blackthornes if you have the RoRG. Even all 3 should you use BT belt/neck.
And if my math is correct 2300 x .06 = 138 off of your weapon, which isn't game breaking, however having perma Akkhans means you have a static 35% increased damage at all times.
Lose the 6%, go for perma dmg and watch things melt.
