Shields for 'switchazons'
Reply
Posted 2002-08-17, 01:21 PM
Just curious what you think the best move for me to make here would be. I basically have a pvp bowazon with full DR gear, but am wondering which would be the wiser choice here: a stormshield with a -15 requirement jewel socket to get to the max 75% DR mark or a whitstan's shield socketed with Ber to hit 75% DR. don't say a shaeled storm, because I'm not doing that on a zon (156 strength on a zon lol).

anyway, my switch will involve using the Jab skill for when I choose to melee. with storm I get +str, resists, higher def (not a big deal really for pvp but it still helps) and with whitstan's I get a little higher and faster block. the only issue I have is that by using storm, that leaves me more versatility to change out armour, belts, and helms and still have good DR. I lose that versatility with whit's shield. so...

stormshield Pros:

+str for Jabbing damage bonus
good resists
higher DR allows more item change versatility
high defense

storm Cons:

pts needed into str to use
block% and speed a little lower than Whit's


Ber'd whitstan pros:

faster block, higher block%
lighter, and lower requirements

Ber'd whitstan Cons:

Have to socket a Ber rune in it
no other mods
unable to wear anything at all other than shaft, string and gaze to get max DR


seems to me to be in favour of stormshield so far, what do you think?
