    Everyone has been suggesting Dark General Shield so far, which has 30% Aggro and some guard power. How about Phalanx Shield? What do you think?

    I just got one from the box and it has +1500 both barriers and 25% barrier cool down (no idea how much that is) and 20% aggro.

    Thought and discussion?

    Barrier suck, so does guard power. If you want aggro, go for dark general or go for imperial shield as long as you're okay with the - phys resistance for the magic resistance boost.

    so you're saying the higher aggro the better and nothing else matters?

    I'm saying barriers and guard power don't do much. Aggro isn't much relevant either since the skills I mostly rely on for aggro usually don't get affected by aggro% equips. But IF you want aggro, I'd go for dark general. If you want magic resistance (very good stat yeye), go for imperial. Other than that they don't really have many shields that do much. Plus, if they are to fuck up servers again bugs like barriers decreasing your hp instead of decreasing the amount of damage taken isn't unknown of LOL
    Shield stats are limited, those two are the ones I think are the best fit for tank, from what I know at least

    Anything that isn't purely physical, usually magic hits harder than physical attacks anyway. 20% gain of magic resistance for a -5% of phys isn't bad at all. It might be better to use dark general somewhere where the boss has some op dark ele attack, I'd still lean towards imperial in most cases.

    You can always hoarde shields like most tanks end up doing. I have a shield for almost everything but i mainly use imperial and dark general the most. My staff tank uses zahhak as well as the others (decomissioned atm) and my bwg uses phalanx and imperial atm but thats cause i dont really need or use guard stats atm on it (plus it matches!).
