Why is my HoZ different?

Why is my HoZ different?

I traded for a Herald of Zakarum shield. It was unidentified when I traded for it. It's stats are slightly different than they are posted in the Arreat Summit. The Arreat Summit lists the HoZ lvl requirement at 42 with a 82% CTB, mine is lvl 47 requirement and the chance to block is 75%. All of the other stats are the same. At first I thought perhaps mine was upped however, it is still a Guilded Shield not a Zakarum Shield. Was the HoZ updated or changed?
If I do up it, what will be the lvl requirement and CTB then? Will it have higher defence?

Yours has more chance to block too, you just can't see it since the maximum display value is 75%, anything higher will automatically be displayed as 75% (blocking is capped at 75%, anything higher only needs less dexterity to get 75% block)

As for the level requirement: I'm sure either you misread it on your screen, or the AS is faulty and the actual lvlreq is 47...

I can somewhat understand the CTB however, this isn't the def stat on the lying screen, it's the stat on the shield I'm talking about. It was lvl 47 req as I had to level my Hammerdin to use it. It was in my stash and I checked several times while leveling. I finally reached level 47 this morning and armed it.

Your HoZ is probably socketed with an Um rune which has a level req of 47.

It's normal that a HoZ is displayed with a base blocking value of 75 when hovering the mouse cursor over it, even though it's 82.

Now that makes sence. I did socket it with an Um rune (whacks side of head in disgust with self!). :brainiac: Phew, and I thought it was an abnormal HoZ.

LOL, I'll second that, but it's what keeps life more interesting
