    Is 3rd anniv vii shield a good one for a pure vit tank? Or is there any better one?

    For tanking, or for mercenary?
    Dark General's shield is good for general use, imperial shield is amazing for magic bosses.

    Imo, anniv shield VII is the best all around shield you could possibly have for tanks in general, op guard power at 38%, has some decent aggro, high base defense and also has Vit stats with only 1% less guard rate from dark general shield, plus some fractional barrier

    I was using Dark General Shield (Drop) since it has nice stat and high aggro.
    But when Anniv Shield VII released, I change to Anniv Shield.
    It has high def and nice stats, quite well for my full VIT Tank so far.

    Yes I am rather confused. Everyone say
    Dark General Shield is better.....
    Base DEF 20 -
    VIT % 2 -
    Dark resistance % 10 -
    Guard Power % 30 -
    Guard Rate % 14 -
    Aggro % 30 -
    But when compared to 3rd Anniv....
    Base DEF 36 -
    VIT % 5 -
    Guard Power % 38 -
    Guard Rate % 13 -
    Aggro % 21 -
    Fractional Barrier % 4 -

    Its just so so much better than dark general. Sure it has -1% guard rate but does more than make up for it in 8% more guard power.
    It has +3% more Vit so even more HP and def gained from this armor.
    It looses on a 9% aggro but does that even really matter with all those aggro skills?
    Bc fractional damage does so much, fractional barrier can save your life. those 0HKO moves now do 4% dmg left leaving you with about 500 health to move arouind. I think its a much better weapon

    Why not get both? For me it's situational. Game got different types of bosses/DPS/playstyle. It's always nice to have the option and the ability to adjust on all possible farm. Not all DPS uses sneak and sometimes you might encounter members that will generate higher aggro than you. Maybe the added +aggro on DGShield/others can be enough. Being independent and not relying on others (skills) just to do your role by being flexible is good.

    Well, 3rd anniv shield is a limited item. But I do think its better than general's shield. I usually use imperial shield most of the time, though.

    What about the pillar golem's shield from megiston event? It got Ampr on top of decent aggro Screenshot_2019-01-23-05-57-47.png

    I prefer to have all of them on my bag. Cause different bosses use differents attack and need spesific shield if u want to properly tank them...

    Ps. Imperial shield :v

    Imperial shield for resistance.
    Marble shield from event pg for AMPR.
    Dark general shield for aggro.
    Mirror shield for evasion.
    You can use any of these tbh it doesnt really matter for pure tank coz at the end of the day you are gonna be spamming pdef.

    These shields have varied uses based on what you need and like. Anniv VII shield is not really better than dark general since guard is such a terrible mechanic in this game (for now at least) but is still good enough to be used if you dont wanna be bothered by getting dark general.

    You need to break the back of pillar golem, only the back from 6m of left arm.
