With the exception of really old shields, 8 is the maximum distance you can have between armor and requisite. 16/8, 15/7, 14/6, etc.
Those really old shields I mentioned are also not inscribable, so getting a full working set of 16/7 Tactics shields would be well into the thousands of ecto in cost.

Them shields still drop in MAGAM area of Prophecies.
Just open the chests and you will find something eventually. I got a sword last week from a chest there that was Purple req6 13-20 damage and a gold 14-22 sword! so these do drop.
However, to find one with the MODS you want on it.. well that is going to take you a very very long time.
The Cutoff for a shiled for being GOLD is the MAX for a Shield for being PURPLE.
To find this out, check out www.presearing.com.
I Believe the cut off for PurPLE Shields is 12 and these still can be single modded when they drop for the shield handle.
12 Armor is the most expensive shield in Pre with armor +9 vrs charr and h +26 but its almost unheard of.
To answer your question.
Yes you can get your shield but it will be PURPLE not Blue.

What the hell are you talking about imnotyourmother? Nobody is talking about pre-searing 
. Also, what does "The Cutoff for a shiled for being GOLD is the MAX for a Shield for being PURPLE" mean?

What on earth has Presearing and Maguuma chests to do with this topic?
Answer: As much as color of a shield has to do with the possible best req for a given armor rating - nothing.
For example the lowest req you can find on a 15 armor shield is 7 and it's the same for blue, purple and gold shields.
