Shield..

PLD41/WAR29 Shall i upgrade to Heater Shield (DEF12) at 42 or shall I stick with Jennet Shield (VIT+1 DEF10)?

They're both a Kite type, so they both have the same % rate for blocking... I'd say go for Jennet Shield, even if you can get a Heater Shield+1. But if I were you, I'd try to get a Balance Buckler, although I'm not sure how much it costs.

It's a Buckler type, has a lot more chances of shielding attacks, and although it has 1 less DEF than Jennet it has +3 ACC.

Where can you find stats on the differant kind of shields and how well they block?

Re: Shield..

I'm actually gonna grab both and test them out, the ritters is kinda cheap on my server so i don't see why not... the enimity is for those of use that seem to ge in the high damage parties, or need help holding hate, and the defense from the ritters seems more suited for those who just need to get hit for a little less.

Re: Shield..

Mitsurugi, that link contains all the information on shields BUT the type and blocking stats that were actually asked for.
