Season 20 Holy Shotgun Paladin - Which stat to choose?

Question

I just got an Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac which upgrades my current one. It is a ancient semi perfect roll:

• +7% attack speed,
• 8% resource cost reduction,
• 6% Crit,
• only 6% cool down reduction.

I would like to know which stat I should re-roll. I'm using Captain Crimson's Trimming bonus, so the cool down would increase my DMG DEALT and the cost reduction would increase my survivability.

As it is, it's grating +5% of raw dmg. I wouldn't like to give away my dmg reduction cause I'm a little squishy already, so second to that, which stat should I re-roll to get more dmg? In another words: Is 6% of "Damage dealt" bigger than 5% of "raw" damage?

Answer 1

According to this "Aegis of Valor Heaven's Fury Crusader" guide best stats for your rings are:

• Socket
• Critical Hit Chance
• Critical Hit Damage
• Area Damage

And this is what this guide says about CDR:

Heaven's Fury Crusaders are heavily Cooldown-dependent, so try to your best to reach a 60%+ CDR point in your sheet to ease the strain on your Obsidian Ring of the Zodiac resets.

If you have around 60% CDR already I suggest rolling CDR into Socket (this is the most important thing - Legendary Gem in this socket outweighs any single stat) or into second critical stat (if you already have Socket since you mentioned only 1 crit). If you are far from that CDR limit, I suggest rolling Attack Speed into Socket or crit - your build's goal is to deal damage with shield reflects anyway, so your own attack speed is less relevant.
