Shield Question
Ayden Evigar
I just bought elite platemail armor and died it white. I was wondering which shield you think matches elite platemail the best that will also be dyed white.
Also, should I get a shield with a strength or a tactics requirement?

Gothic Defender maybe? Not sure about the colors though.
Btw, get a Strength shield. Tactics is mostly garbage for Wars now.

Go with Strength, what Marty says about Tactics for Warriors is true...
Shield skins... ?
Shadow Shield
Guardian of the Hunt
Ebonhand Aegis
Echovald Shield
(too bad Enameled Aegis is Tactics... :cry
(to name a few)
[ EDIT ]
Forgot the Darkwing Defender (thanks Lumi!)
Personally, I use the Undead Shield from the BMP, but I'm in Elite Kurzick, not Elite Platemail...

Darkwing Defender or Gloom Shield dyed black.

I liked it with a white Gloom Shield. It looked like it would actually stop a sword blow and complimented the style of the armour. It really does depend what look you are going for.

I use Emblazoned Defender dyed white and like it alot.
Echovald doesn't seems that bad.
I would use Gloom if it wasn't that small.

go gothic shield, but honestly u can never look bad with a tormented shield or a magmas shield in ne condition
Ayden Evigar
Yeah, I really like the Colossal Scimitar/Gloom Shield combo. I already bought a perfect Legendary Sword and it matches quite well. Need to buy a shield now. Thanks for the opinion and the picture! Keep suggesting a shield if you'd like, and I think I'll try and get a strength required shield.
beserk
gloom ftw, best looking shield imo specially with a fellblade both dyed black xD
Oleg
It's always handy to have a swap out offhander for energy. Most look pretty stupid on a war with this armour, though. A grim cesta looks ok. When fighting you do look a little like you're nursing a broken arm, but you can't win them all.

Well, tbh Marty, as you have said many times before, almost anything can win in PvE.
I agree with the fact that if you are running out of energy then the build is probably not that efficient, as long as there is a bit of slack given for the areas of the game where there is some nasty e-denial. It's rare, but it happens (Spirit Shackles/Mind Wrack combo on Mergoyles... used to piss me off back when I farmed Ettins).
But, in all fairness to Marty, the most energy-dependent build Warriors should probably be running would be a Scythewar, and that of course is run with Warrior's Endurance as the Elite, which solves the energy needs of that build quite nicely!

Zealous weapons, FTW.

I don't use energy heavy builds. If you don't have a swap out set that will give you an energy boost on the odd occassions that you'll need it then you're only hurting yourself.
