Superior Kurast Shield. I added some sockets into it and got this for a
Spirit when i made it.

(Paladin Only)

+2 to all Skills
+34% Faster Cast Rate

I would have thought... "DAMN!" because it is one off the best FCR. For
a sorc, the 34 would be OK as one of their bps is 63 but a Hammerdin is
usually trying to get 75 or 125. I think it's an OK Spirit. Considering
you can get up to 45 res all on a shield, the 39 is OK. And 34 FCR is
the same as 30 for a pally (which is obviously pretty good since you
got 30+). The strength requirement is a bit high for a hammerdin
though.

On a melee pally, it's fine. The only part of the variable stats is the
base resists (39, which is OK) and the mana which a melee pally isn't
too concerned with usually.

Not sure you would get too much for it in a trade. Worth more to you.
