To make a

with 5 ED MOs on my Eth Spirit Edge

Wait, you actually CAN to MO eth items ? Hard to believe in...

Yes, I did it a couple times. Also no document says that you can't MO eth items

I imagine this has been asked, but what is the best place to find oil of conjuration? And does MF affect it? I have been doing icy cellar and drifter cavern, but after about 10 games, no drops. I know 10 games is nothing in d2, but just wondering if there is a better place before i continue to grind.

The Elite Zones in A5 are the best place to farm them. MF won't affect their drop rate.

Elite Zones are:
Abaddon (Accessible from the Frigid Highlands)
Drifter Cavern (accessible from the Glacial Trail)
Icy Cellar (accessible from the Ancients' Way)
Infernal Pit (accessible from the Frozen Thundra)
Pit of Acheron (Accessible from the Arreat Plateau)

- pretty sure these are the only places where oil of confurations can be found

Retaliate, the Holy Paladin skill. Info on reflect damage would be helpful as well.

What do you mean how its calculated? It's just a weapon damage nova, deals the damage it says on the tooltip, nothing to do with how much damage you take.

I want to play version 1.0. Do you have any resources?

Admitting that this for trying higher labs, would you suggest

Celestial Barrier

Celestial Barrier
Spiked Shield (Sacred)
Defense: (2525 - 2828) to (3012 - 3374)
Chance to Block: 1% + Class%
Required Level: 100
Required Dexterity: 550
Item Level: 120
+(4 to 5) to All Skills
1% Base Block Chance
-50% Attack Speed
30% Cast Speed
-(20 to 25)% to Enemy Elemental Resistances
+(150 to 180)% Enhanced Defense
50% Bonus to Defense
1% Reanimate as: Random Monster
Socketed (6)

or

Herald of Zakarum

Herald of Zakarum
Aerin Shield (Sacred)
Defense: (4517 - 5421) to (5297 - 6357)
Chance to Block: 2%
(Paladin Only)
Required Level: 100
Required Strength: 1000
Item Level: 120
Gematria
(Bonus per Socketed Great/Elemental Runes)
+1 to All Skills
+0.75% Base Block Chance

. In my case here, -% enemy resistances is not an issue. Character is a Trinity Beam paladin. Resistances looks nice on the latter, reanimates are useless on the former, I could use some additional input on this.

Both are solid options for higher labs. If pierce isn't an issue I'd probably lean towards HoZ for the higher block chance.

Both are good, BUT ... if there is a TG, then CB
