I currently use this as my shield. It gives me maxAR 16 butalso gives me +5 energy for my warrior.



It swirls around your hand and looks very neat. I was thinking of using a shield but cant find one with added energy thats better than this

Is there a shield with added energy always and is it strenght based

Hmm. Looks to me like one of them pre-order items.

Well, if you REALLY need that 5 energy, keep the Prism, but I'd take a shield with +30HP always and -2DMG(enchanted) over that thing anyday.

And, no, there is no +energy shield.

if you need more energy get a +5 energy sword. (very rare since the update)

European beta testers had it as part of a thank you. you can not trade it or even show people in the trade window.

I didnt use it at all at first but now realise its a good item and unique

What your preorder item depends where you preordered it from. I preordered from Gameplay.co.uk so I got the Chimeric Prism. USA has loads of preorder items varying from store to store even lol.

Ye olde England.

The Chimeric Prism is a good item for warrior that wants more energy, but there are shields that give better bonuses and you can then just use gladiators armor for the energy. Plus it’s virtually useless for a ranger in standard conditions, its only good for trapping etc. Plus casters can get better focuses anyway, it just gives the standard +12 energy that you get with a max focus item, without any extras. So its not as good as it looks.

Yeah, the prism was added last. Igot the Cathan Targe Shield by pre-ordering from best buy. I still use my Targe sometimes, and wish you could show people in the trade window. So many people i played with in pvp arena are like "what shield is that?" and then get mad when i say i cant show it to them. lol they just dont belive it wont go in the trade window.

Amen, I use the Canthan Targe as well. But GEEZ why 10 tactics?! ;_; I wish they made it like the prism where it only needed 8 tactics [it's only 14 armor so why not lower the tactics requirement a little?

However, at 8 strength, you gain 30 hp from Canthan Targe and at 8 weapon mastery you gain 2 energy.

30hp + 2 energy is Awesome for a warrior... [if you get the right skills, it's about 25 total energy when regen is factored in.]

That is a very nice shield for a warrior what with the +26 armor if you have 8's in strength and tactics

Warrior with more than 25 energy makes me wonder, what the hell are you doing besides swinging a weapon?

reminds me of my oh so not very sexy censors icon

Wish I could at least have the choice of an item per character, it's mainly for a monk, it worked wonders for my ranger

prism armour +16 is global too, unlike the directional clause on a shield. Doesn't help my hammer warrior any though heh

Can you drop it on the ground outside a town? You could trade the old-fashioned way.

my war/mes packs 44 energy for pvp.

there's more to being a good warrior than just rushing in and swinging your weapon around.

Considering your rank is Professor, I would think that you know this, but you CAN drop items on the ground outside of town. You just click-drag and drop them from your inventory to the screen outside your inventory.
