Gear and Unique Items

Proper equipment is essential to Diablo 4 Items maximize Shield of Retribution damage:

Ward of the White Dove

This Unique shield doubles Blessed Shield damage and reduces Faith cost for consecutive casts. Combined with other multipliers, Blessed Shield can reach astronomical damage numbers. Pair with Griswold's Opus for bonus crit damage.

Argent Veil

This ring synergizes perfectly with Arbiter form, automatically casting Shield of Retribution as you move. For those still farming, you can buy Diablo 4 materials to trade for Argent Veil, speeding up the process.

Judgment of Auriel

Provides all Arbiter of Justice upgrades for free and adds damage and damage reduction based on Skill Ranks. While not mandatory, it allows more skill point allocation elsewhere.

Razorplate or Shroud of False Death

These chest pieces boost Thorns damage and survivability. Shield of Retribution scales heavily with Thorns, so pick the armor that maximizes these stats.

Legendary Aspects

Key Aspects enhance this build's offensive and defensive capabilities:

Juggernaut's Covenant: Consuming Resolve grants additional damage.
Chastisement: Increases multiplicative damage against bosses and crowd-controlled enemies.
Indomitable: Boosts Armor and Impairment Resistance based on Block Chance.
Arbiter's Zephyr: Reduces Arbiter Evade cooldown.

When tempering gear, prioritize cooldown reduction and cheap D4 materials Arbiter Duration to overlap with Arbiter of Justice.
