Spirit still working on ladder?

Will it work in a 4 sockets crown shield?
I was under the impression it required a high STR shield

How about Rhyme in a pal shield?

If you're not a Paladin, then it does, as there are only 3 non-paladin
shields that can have 4 sockets.

My pre-reset sorceress is sporting a Spirit Aegis, while wearing Gladiator's
Bane, thinking she's all that.... I think I'll go in the same direction
with my new sorceress, too. I hope she finds as many goodies.

Specifically, the 3 shields are:

Monarch (156 Str)
Ward (185 Str)
Aegis (219 Str)

All are elite shields that are hard to find, on the level of Archon Plate.
