So we all know, this thing is expensive. It's general consensus that this thing is BiS blah blah.
I've read that people have got them for 500k sometimes, yet I'm wondering if it was even worth buying?
Pretty much what I'm wondering is if it's worth bidding on a Stormshield that only has around 20% block. If I can get it between 300k-700k. I've read some places that this item is overrated but I feel like it could be a good buy for where I'm at.
I took a break from beginning of June till about this week, so that's why I'm way behind lol. Anyways, I've been farming Act 1 and I'm in no rush to get into Act 2 because I don't want to struggle. I'm aiming for about 800ish resist all and 10k+ armor, 40k health. I've read this is what is needed to plow through Act II.
So my question given my situation, is a Stormshield with only 20% block worth 300k-700k for my character? I understand at later acts I would need to replace it with a higher block% shield. Thanks

No. Look for a Sacred Shield. Filter for All res/Block 9%/STR (or VIT, whatever your preference is). Sacred shield > Stormshield by far. Also a lot cheaper.
Stormshield vs Sacred Shield doesn't matter much but either way crit is crucial. The faster you kill things, the less dmg they do to you. Even with a very tanky build you should still aim for 30-40k dps by having crit and crit dmg wherever you can without sacrificing defenses.
