Why would you swap, you do you. Ain’t no one swapping if ya have Pom. The resists are still good on pom. You always stay with your choices tho so to prevent a 30 page thing I’ll just concede and say do whatever dms says. Good luck

Lodi Shield has +15 FR and +15 CR over PoM cloak. PoM Cloak resists are decent, but they don't compare to Lodi Shield. Lodi Shield has +50 total important resists across MR, FR,and CR. Vindi BP has +45. You're getting more than a Vindi BP's worth of important resists with Lodi Shield. PoM cloak only has +20 total important resists.

The more resists you can put in a single slot, the less pieces you have to swap out elsewhere, or the easier it is to cap a resistance with buffs. Remember that you may end up keeping the same HP or more as PoM cloak if you don't have to swap out another HP piece elsewhere. You have to look at your item stats whollistically. If you lose 200 HP from resist swaps to keep PoM cloak on, that may end up being worse than just using Lodi Shield and not swapping the 200 HP worth of items.
