I myself have used Sunreach's Shield since Factions came out until about two months ago when I discovered how crap 5/20 was. This shield has the most sentimental value to me. Now I use an Eternal Shield with +10vs fire, NF end shields, or Enameled with vs lightning, but none of them appeal to me as Sunreach's did.

Whether you're a warrior as a main or not, explain why you use what you use, or whatever your favorite shield is.

Aegis of Augh is one of my favorites, Had a torment shield but I just sold it last night, was meh anyway. Oh yeah, and Summit Warlord Shields are awesome too, huge and spiky, gotta love it.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Changing from -5 [20%] was a good idea. It's not the best for a warrior because a) you're already highly resistant to physcial damage and b) you only get the benefit a fifth of the time. All reduction mods are bad for warriors except from obscure farming conditions.

As for skins, Ebonhand.

I use Exalteds. They're my favorite skin. Not so much the greens, which I also have and use sometimes, but more a number of golds I picked up to cover various circumstances. I like the wings and the base color sort of fits with most armor my warrior wears. Havent found anything else I like nearly as much.

Given that the Exalted does not drop dual modded, I still have a couple Talls and Shadows I use ever so rarely if I have a need for that damage reduction type.

That dye combo is the first thing to make me like that skin. Really, that looks amazing. o.o

As for Exalted, I wouldn't touch one unless it dropped from the end chest of Urgoz or Kanaxai.

I use tormented because I simply love the skin. It's also great to resell then buy back again cheaper

Tormented shield here. I wanted one from the moment I first saw one. The first thing I did when I finally completed nightfall on my main (warrior) was enter DOA and buy a gem set(50k at that time). Turned the gem set in for a coffer, got a mini mallyx out of it and traded the mallyx for my shield <3. Used it ever since and I highly doubt I'll ever sell it.

I also got an aegis of terror which I use when fighting against demons quite obviously

...kill yourself. I've wanted a Mini Mallyx... forever. The fact you turned in one set and got it, makes me want to cry. I've bought 28 Coffers, 75% of the time its something thats worth like 5k (stygian, armor rem, scroll)

anyways, tormented shields>>>>>>>>>>>>all

If it makes you feel any better, in the weeks/months after that I traded in 5-10 more gem sets which pretty much all gave me 5 elixers of valor lol.

And erm, about the kill myself thingy, srry, but no can do mate

Celestial for Tactics, Shadow for Strength, and at the moment I have a pair of Militia Shields as my 20% Cripple and Blind shields, but after seeing Makosi's dye job on that Ebonhand Aegis I'm considering investing...

EDIT: Oh, and a green Echovald on my Ranger when I decide to go with a build that allows me to have a shield.

Magmas Shields.

It's funny how the demand for these has sky rocketed since the destroyer weapons came out with GW:EN.

I use an Aureate Aegis dyed black on my ranger, a Shield of the Wing on my warrior, and a Wooden Buckler on my ele. The wooden buckler is really... contradictory... to my ele's Elemental Sword.

Got 2 R9 gold aureates, a forgotten, and an R8 gold Eagle defender on my para...two command and two motivation with armor vs lightning and fire, and +30 mods.

On my warrior I have a Str Tormented with 5/20 (which will come off eventually when I figure out what I want) and matching strength and tactics green exalted aegis (best NF end greens, IMO) that matched my silver eagle armor before I decided on a color change.

I like the Enameled Shield. Got a white drop once in a dungeon and sold it by accident. Reminds me of a Transformer.

Celestial Shields were an early favorite too.
