Exile

4 Socket Paladin Shields (Vex + Ohm + Ist + Dol).
This product doesn't include Sacred Targe and Vortex Shield because they have their dedicated pages.

It has 'repairs durability' so it will not break.
Smiter needs to use elite Paladin shield to deal maximum Smite damage. All of them deal 46-46.5 average damage whilst exceptional shields only half of that.
Eth-bugged Exile has 50% more defense than regular ethereal and twice as much as non-eth. Defense is very important because it gets multiplied by Defiance aura and Holy Shield so every little bit counts.

D2R, PD2 and POD: Eth-bug has been fixed so ethereal runewords have about 30% less defense.
