In Tyria and Cantha shields sometimes drop with the master of my domain mod for another attribute than their req (ie strength magmas shield with 19% 1+ domination magic). Can the +1 attri be of a caster primary attribute? Like DF, Estorage or SR?

i believe it COULD happen but the chances are really low( i.e the game wants you to use something other then the main attribute ^^)

i once got a shield with a 19%, +1 water magic. i know i should have sold it to someone for an extraordinary amount or something....

is it possible to get a 20% HCT attribute on a tyrian shield?

a +1 heal gold r8 tactics shield is what i want tho.

I have never seen a shield, that had +1 of a primary attribute (except Strengh).
That would be new to me.

None monk attributes are actually really cheap (20-30k) so it wouldn't have really been an "extraordinary amount".

And, no, it isn't possible to go HCT on a shield.

I can't remember ever seeing a +1 Energy Storage or +1 Soul Reaping on a shield, but I'm 100% sure I had a +1 Divine Favor on a tyrian shield (I was doing some droprate research last year and have its stats in my file).

If its 20% then you could get money for it, also str or tacticts?If its tactics the price goes up, if its low req the price goes up even more.

If it is anything but 20% then dont bother wasting your time getting a buyer.

I've had Divine Favor as well, a few of them actually. Never seen Energy Storage or Soul Reaping, and never seen a Mez attribute at all, though I know they exist.

Because of the Mesmer Attribute:
For Example Nr.1 got one in this auction.

I believe I got a shield once that had Soul Reaping on it. Ended up in the merch pile and the screen shot is buried somewhere in like 4 gigs of GW jpegs, not to mention somewhere in between probably the 2006 and 2007 layer of those screenies, and I don't feel like looking for it lol.

Like everybody else, I've definitely had Divine Favor, but I don't remember Soul Reaping, Fast Casting, or Energy Storage. Part of that might be that Prophecies had no Soul Reaping skills and no Fast Casting spells, and afaik Ritualist attributes have never been seen on these shields so the drop table wouldn't have changed when Factions was added. I can't explain the Energy Storage though, as there were four core/Proph EStorage spells.

As for never seeing a mesmer attribute, I've had an Illusion Eternal Shield and a Domination Plagueborn along the way (still have the Plagueborn).

Here's a link to some Divine Favor shields as proof: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...&postcount=622

they arent expensive, only IF they have perfect wanted mods like a +1 20% and a +30 on it which is very rare.

Some people collect the +1 monk shields that have crappy stats and they end usually up paying like 5-30k depending on skin and mods.

A gold Q7 Celetstial max shield with +1 divine and +10AL vs peicing. nice nice. too bad it wasn;t tactics.

... Is it better to do chest runs or get these +1 attribs from drops or just easier to buy them off people? is it better for a monk to go for a +1 heal or +1 divine shield?
