Spirit (sword) plus splendor shield vs leaf

Hey all, finally got a 4 socket crystal sword.. Thinking of replacing Leaf with Spirit + Splendor. I haven't pulled a 4 socket shield yet nor do I have the STR for the monarch shield..

Biggest concern is i'll lose 3 in warmth, 6% hydra damage, and my cold resist would drop to 3%

Hydra/orb build..
