Description

Alma Negra is an offensive-focused shield that has the rare +% Enhanced Damage modifier in the shield-slot.

Key details

  • On that front it trails only the Phoenix runeword which is very costly but carries an enormous +350-400% Enhanced Damage modifier.
  • Beyond that, the bonus attack rating and +skills can also grant a DPS edge to a paladin.
  • The +% Enhanced Damage modifier on the shield is applied after all the +% Enhanced Damage modifier of the weapon itself but before any skill damage calculation so, for instance, a +70% Enchanced Damage mod on Alma Negra would NOT mean a total +70% DPS boost to your final damage.
  • Alma Negra is primarily chosen by Zeal Paladins.
  • The Faster Block Rate can seem effective but Holy Shield already reduces the Paladin's Block Frames to 2 by default and you must hit the 86% FBR breakpoint to reduce it to 1 so it is usually ignored.
  • The enhanced defense mod is effective, though.

D2Emu Tips

  • Alma Negra lacks the important All Resistances property so players might want to use Larzuk to add 1 socket and insert a Perfect Diamond for +19 all resistances.
  • Summary Table: -Roll/Type -Typical Price -Low/average roll - Lem, Ko, or 10 pgems -Good roll (non-ethereal) - Pul, Lem+ Fal -Perfect/high roll - Pul+ Lem+ Fal -Ethereal (PvP interest) -Up to Lo rune Most trades happen at the Lem to Pul rune level, with only the best or ethereal versions reaching higher values.
  • Another addendum after finding this off TZ Mephisto, while " Alma Negra" is Spanish for "Black Soul", this item when played in Spanish language settings is called "Alma Oscura", meaning "Dark Soul".
  • "Alma Negra" means "Black Soul" in Spanish and Portuguese.
