colgateJR 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2011 It's the most common "rare" item according to the rarity chart, and basically every mage has one. I think they should be warrior only or only effective in PvM (I like this one better). In PvP they make killing mages almost impossible. If a warrior gets PFA, mage can blizz down. If a mage gets paralyzed, they just throw on m.shield and take almost no damage. Being paralyzed vs warriors should have more effect I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But if they reduce PA then MA would be reduced too. you just need to be evasive from the pfas thats more of a skill related topic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not saying there are problems with being PFA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ruutu / Risti 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) Never ending discussion. I think m.shield wand is a mage item, it is a wand and should recuire high int or magic or both. And on the other hand shields are for warriors and should be available for high str only ofcourse lighter shields could be used with lower str. This could also bring some new builds, it would maybe courage for people to play battlemages and support chars making pvp and hunting much more fun!

MagicJoKer 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2011 M shields was 30% pa, now its 15%. so, its not like it absorbs all the damage, if you was going to hit -100, with mshield you would hit -85. Wars can hit effectively while they are pfmed, mages cant hit nicely while wearing mshield. What you are probably complaining about, is the pa shields, but now you can strip those with axes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
