Rhyme vs Splendor for an MF Hammerdin?
I found a 2os Royal Shield w/ +45 Resist all and go to thinking...what about a rhyme or splendor shield?
Rhyme
20% Increased Chance of Blocking
40% Faster Block Rate
All Resistances +25
Regenerate Mana 15%
Cannot Be Frozen
50% Extra Gold From Monsters
25% Better Chance Of Getting Magic Items
Splendor
+1 To All Skills
+10% Faster Cast Rate
+20% Faster Block Rate
+60-100% Enhanced Defense (varies)
+10 To Energy
Regenerate Mana 15%
50% Extra Gold From Monsters
20% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items
+3 To Light Radius
The benefit of Rhyme is the extra 25% Resistance, which I'm not sure is needed once the rest of the build is taken into account. Rhyme also will give better blocking and 5% more MF as well as CBF.
Splendor adds +1 to all skills, 10% faster cast rate and defense.
Thoughts on this? Worth making the runeword? I most likely will not use it as I don't have immediate plans of making an MF hammerdin (though I've thought about it). If I make it I will just put it up for resale to get some reactions out of it, I see it as a cool piece being that it is 45% Resist All.
Talk to me.
EDIT - I found a shael and an eth in back to back games, so I went ahead and did this
