Would it make sense

To socket this blue

Vortex Shield?

As an early season entry shield, it wouldn't even be bad for say starter smiter gear. Slap a p.

Diamond into that socket or two if you get lucky with

Larzuk, solid res and block for starters.

In terms of actual value though, I don't see it.

Thank you. At this point an upgraded Moser's shield seems like a more appealing option, as wasting a

Larzuk's quest on a 50% chance for getting 2 sockets doesn't seem attractive enough for me.
