Hi. I haven't seen any Shield (im using the one from Kaining Center NPC). I'm just wondering what shield should I use that will match the skin of a Fiery Dragon Sword?
I'm not planning to put many points in Tactics, so I am thinking of a shield that is Strength based.
Any suggestion?
What Shield Should I Use if I am Using Fiery Dragon Sword

A shield with
-20% Cripple
-20% Blind
+10 Fire
+10 Light
+10 Slashing
+10 Piercing
+10 Blunt
Maybe +10 Cold
+30 Health
If you can, get both Tactic Shields and Strength shields, but Tactics is usually saved for gimmicks or bad skills.

There really isn't shield to match the skin of a fiery dragon sword, given that most of it is simply a fire particle effect. Still, the default handle color is a sort of gold color. Nightfall has a lotus shield, which is a fairly common skin, but has a nice golden color that matches the hilt of the dragon sword pretty well.

Oh Sorry
Gothic Defender dyed yellow
Or Outcast Shield
Or Kournan Defender
Or Darkwing Defender

Thanks. i'll go WIKI and look for Lotus and Magma shield.
Thanks.
Please let me know if there are other skin that will look fairly good with FDS.

A shiny metallic shield would go best, in the same colour as your Dragon Sword if possible - Darkwing Defenders are pretty snazzy and Strength-req.
And on str. vs tac shields - Strength all the way.
Ever since the advent of "Save Yourselves!" replacing "Watch Yourself!" on all my bars, any compelling reason to spec Tactics has all but gone. There is Healsig, but whenever I deign to take it, it sits on my bar totally unused because the AI covered by "SY!" can easily keep me healed.

Enameled Shield plox
Bluefeather

CandyPrince

JDRyder
what armor are u using
this i think will go good with the sword http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Magmas_Shield

Bluefeather
A lot of you have said that Magmas Shield is good for FDS. So, i guess ill get that one even if dye wont change the skin.
Thanks. My armor is from Consulate Docks.
I think im going to dye it (the armor) with Red-combined-with-yellow dye. I still don't know what color will come out of it.

He/She meant the armor skin you were using, not it's stats. There's no point getting a matching weapon and shield if you're armor doesn't match either. Afaik consulate docks only offers sunspear and istani so it's grey plating either way I guess.
jamnog
Adamantine Shield perhaps
thats Enameled Shield looks nice

I don't think I'll be able to get armor that will match with FDS. I'm only planning to get one from Consulate Docks, put a 50hp and Vitae on it and it will be my armor for the rest of my character's life already. The reason why I asked for a matching shield for FDS is because the shield i am currently using is a circular grey (one from Kaineng Center) and they aren't really nice to look at. even the shield from Bonus Weapon doesn't look great for an FDS.

So? Taking a few points from your precious healing prayers to put into tactics will only help you

Magmas shield is expensive. Much more than the darkwing.
Crom The Pale
Personally I like the look of the Emblazoned Defender with FDS.
Though I used to like this combo way back when....

Magmas, destroyer, anything flamey actually. I use Magmas on my warrior, sometimes grabbing out my FDS, just because it looks good

Shield of the Lion, dyed orange/brown

go with something tactics based. strength is a useless attribute line.

The only really compelling reason to use Tactics often - "Watch Yourself!" - has been completely eschewed by "Save Yourselves!" on most builds. Tactics is agruably as useless now as Strength, even moreso - Strength has Enraging Charge and Flail, and confers a (pathetic) damage buff.
Covah
Like holymasamune said, magmas shields are pretty expensive.
Yichi
sell the sword and get a different one that goes better with the 90+ other shields that are in the game 
seriously though, its pretty much whatever you think will look best with your overall character, taking into account armor, male or female, shield positioning, etc.

Wahhh?? If you could tell me some decent tactics skills to use in the godmode dragon slash template, I'd be more than happy to use a inscribable diamond aegis...(still can't find a perfect strength one...>.<)
Longasc
I recommend a Dragon Shield or Fiery Dragon Shield.
MisterB
Use a Crimson Carapace Shield.

I think the Shadow Shield goes nicely with the FDS.
You can't see me
IMO, the FDS would go very nice with

rush makes enraging charge cry and heal sig should still be on every bar. plus there are utility skills for when you want utility. you should still have like 8 points in strength to get your amazing armor penetration...

Last time I had Healsig on my bar in PvE, it sat there completely unused. H/H covered by "SY!" can cover all your healing needs. For PvP, myeh. That's a bit more long winded... In the end, I rarely opt to take a self-heal there, for a lot of reasons. edit: for PvE, in all honesty - the only Tactics skill worth looking at right now is "Shields Up!" in a few niche situations. I'd probably try and slot healsig if I pug, but... I don't pug.
Coloneh
im not going to argue with you about healsig. i wouldnt run a melee character that dosnt make things blow up (meaning a non-AoL derv) without some form of self heal or defense. you would. whatever. tactics still has more skills that can actually be used than strength. they are both pretty bad though...
max_rulez
Str > Tactics
[skill]Natural Healing[/skill] > [skill]Healing Signet[/skill] or [skill]Lion's Comfort[/skill], end of story Back on topic... Magmas would go well With a FDS however it is expensive as previously stated. Destroyer might look Okay too.

For PvP thats a different matter. Its a matter of opinion imo.. If you wanna take a skill which you probably wont use but keep it on anyway just 'in case' you need to use it, then fine. But why have a 'partially' wasted skill when you could use something thats going to make an impact. Str > Tac. /Exit off-topic mode. Darkwing Defender, Emblazoned defender, Gloom Shield <-- All dyed black, maybe even an eternal shield (that was what my old war used in ascalon lol).

Shield of the wing,obviously.
not so newb
go for the magma even tho its pricey?
