Earth Scroll -- +12 energy, +45 health (when enchanted), -2 received damage (when enchanted)

No need to carry a shield any more.

I prefer the extra armor option. Helps you live a little longer to keep on casting or spamming heal party.

I thought the armor was dependent on a Tactics requirement you don't meet anyway.

Notice I said 8. You get half benefit if you don't meet the requirement. Of course a shield won't give you 12 energy, I thought that was obvious enough not to say. ~.~

The mods are still in effect even though you don't meet the requirement, like the +30 hp or -2 while enchanted. That's why you see a lot of Mo/As running around with shields.

The only question is how much AL you get from the shield if you don't meet the req.

It's 8 armor.

They changed it in an update, which is why I have like 3 green shields on my ele (eles can have low energy sets too!)
