Damage difference spirit and 3 cold faceted shield

[:1]Can anyone tell me roughly the damage difference between spirit runeword and a 3 socketed jewelers shield socketed with 3 5/5 cold facets? This answer would be in the perspective of a max dmg sorc who uses ormus robes.

(I know 4 socketed jeweler shields excist, its just the price omg)|||If you can afford a 3 socket one you can certainly afford a 4... a 3 socket one would be a waste and it's worth less than what it cost you to create it. Spirit is much cheaper, gives resists, fcr and +2skills and would be better than a 15/15 shield without a doubt. It also depends on your class and your spec. if your primary spells have a lot of synergies then a +skills shield would typically be more ideal. You may even consider a different route and try putting a 5/5 facet in a storm shield or lidless. just a thought. again, it all depends on your character type.|||Like austin said no point in going with something like a JTOD or ATOD if you're going max damage,those are only for max block sorcs (which imo wayyyyy better than max dmg sorcs).

Also if I remember correctly 1 facet is almost 1 skill point for frozen orb.|||I don't normally do the work for people, but the comments following made me curious. I think the ATOD will provide a significant damage increase. Let's see.

Blizzard assumptions: Maxed blizzard & synergies. Nightwings+facet, 3 cold amulet, perfect blizz ormus+facet, pfathom+facet, 2x SoJ, Snowclash, anni, torch, 9x cold skillers.

Spirit: 10260 damage from skills * 1.75 cold skill damage = 17995 max blizzard damage

AToD: 9732 damage from skills * 1.90 cold skill damage = 18490 max blizzard damage

Orb assumptions: Maxed orb & synergy. Nightwings + facet, 3 cold amulet, perfect cold ormus+facet, pfathom+facet, 2x soj, arach, anni, torch, 9x cold skillers.

Spirit: 946 damage from skills * 1.75 cold skill damage = 1655 max orb damage

AToD: 922 damage from skills * 1.90 cold skill damage = 1751 max orb damage

The AToD wins.

Note that with lower +skillls, no skillers, fewer synergies, etc., the margin should decrease as the +skills from spirit become more significant. The OP, however, said max damage.|||you do lose other stats from the spirit and down a fcr breakpoint as well. personally i see no use in such damage as in pvm your concern are the immunes, and in pvp anything below 105 fcr spells death for a char like sorc.
