shield choice?

ryhme or sigons on a plague zon im having difficulties both have advantages because sigons that +1 to skills will add more dmg but ryhme gives cnb , block rate and res so its kind of a dmg over handy is one way to put it

Think about your strength too, don't wanna waste 50 points for strength (150 life) to get 1 more skill. Depends on your gear of course.

not 100% advocating sigons but

1) you cannot make up +skills with charms/jewels,, but resistance can be

2) sheal sigons means u 4frame block,,, but you can only block melee/physical,, and who are u fighting in melee range?

3) cbf,, spirit shroud

is hfd capped?
say you have 2 hfd moded items... would it reduce freeze duration by 75%? (half of half)

on or off mod.

but cold resistance lowers the duration of chill time
75% + half freeze means 4 seconds of chill time lasts .5 seconds

bare bones question is str/dmg imo
1500 dmg* vs about 100-150 life

*at 9k (the more typically achieved dmg) that sigons is ~15% more dmg
at 13k (the most ideal) it is ~10% dmg
