Round Shield FTW!! No dye, just the regular old Round Shield. I'm serious, too, just in case someone thinks I'm joking.

Skin:

Summit Warlord (Tactics)
Defender (Strength)

Fell in love with those two skins in Prophecies, and haven't found anything else that comes close.

Mods:

-2 damage in a stance
+10 armor versus [enemy type]

In PvE, it's insanely easy to know what enemies you're going to face, and most enemies have a +10 armor mod that corresponds to them.

If they only had +10 armor/+10 armor shields, I'd be in heaven.

Well I have my Aureate Aegis that I use from end-game Factions, Droknar's Motivation Shield, and Churkeh's Defiance. And I have a nice gold paragon shield too but I forgot the stats because I like my greens. And I'm not on my paragon that often. hehe

On my warrior, which i rarely use i have a req 8 reinforced buckler from the griffon farming days.
The stats are sub standard compared to a crafter shield but the lower req is nice to have.

Edit, i'm currently working on a summit warlord and stone summit shield collection. Just keeping my eyes out for decent mods for them.

Lets see, I own 2 or more of every shield with both tactics and strength as well as multiple variants of each shield except: plated, ebonhand, gothic, signet, and tormented (too bright and ugly). Its a bit hard to pick my favorite/most used but here goes:


amber aegis
kappa shield
amethyst aegis
echovald shield
guardian of the hunt
enameled shield
gloom shield
shadow shield
tall shield
magmas shield
emblazoned defender
istani shield
sun and moon shield
crude shield
equine aegis
sharktooth shield
diamond aegis
iridescent aegis
eternal shield
tower shield
sea purse shield


Most common mods used(shields are swapped depending on builds for pvp/pve): +10 vs elemental damage and +30 hp always or +10 vs specific damage type and -2 while in a stance or -3 while hexed. The rest are of the shields are stuck on heroes. LOL Oh and yes I am running out of space.

This is by far my favorite looking skin, its a real shame they refuse to update it with max stats and reasonable req...I mean a shield with 3 req to get all mods to work and not even max at that???

Mind you I have been know to use one or two other shields in my day.....

My favorite shield is the magmas and this is my collection so far, which unfortunately has mods stripped off of them as I decide I need them:



Ever since some random guy who was helping me on a mission gave me a crappy purple one when I was just starting out in 2005, I always wanted some good ones. Now I have them and I want more ^^

I've never liked the Tormented shields much. They seem garish and overly decorative to my eyes. I prefer the cold, heartless steel of my Gloom shield, Ebonhand, and Arrahhsh's aegis. Plus they match my Elite Kurzick armor nicely, particularly the Gloom.

In my humble opinion,

Eye of the north has a lot of beautiful shield,

among them, I most like the Amethyst Aegis and the Oaken Aegis. I am currently using Onwan Aegis. A sea purse and a sharp tooth.

Hmmm, I just busted 75k for a Darkwing Defender and no one likes them? Oh well, I H/H all the time so it doesn't matter

As for mods, the best ones in general are Health +30/Health +45 (while in a stance (you are using Flail, right?)), and Armor +10 vs. Fire.

Talk to the hand, baby.
Yeah thats an nice skin.But if you got a perfect Shield Of The Lion Black Dyed its really beautifull! i swear just try it out (dont be scared if you put the dye on it that your dye is already on it you just can look for it b4)

I freaked out about the Aegis version before GWEN. I got the GWEN one and it looks punily tiny on my warrior and he holds it weird. It looks cool, but not on my warrior. u.u [spent 40k]

Found this shield a couple of weeks ago running the free chests in elona, and decided to add it for the req9 collection. That's how it looks Black dyed, If you want any other pics lemme know.

My warrior, have Sunreach's Shield and it was the main shield I used through Factions. I don't use it much these days. Because it took me a long, long time to farm for the thing, it's for keeps. The shield I use these days (which is also my favourite skin) is a Shield of the Lion. It came from one of the free treasure chest, req 9 str with +30Hp and -5/20. I was very happy, one of my best drops ever in my GW life.

I want to get more shields for my warrior, one against each elemental type. But I'm kinda lacking inventory space. Warrior is hoarding swords, axes and hammers.

I also have a Gloom and an Adamantine Shield, which I like, and have passed them on to my Ele and Monk.

Why every shield? Well, I bought some really cheap, some were dropped by mobs that got in my way, and others were found while chest running/getting treasures. Yea owning more shields than there are mods may seem insane and probably is, but I guess its just my obsession . Many are duplicates of the same mods on other shields. Others are non-inscribable condition and damage reduction (like +10 armor vs dragons lolz) type shields which can't be reproduced with inscriptions.
