Shield Mage Finale Build ?

anyone wanna share shield mage finale build ? all of the posts i read is about arrow mage

 

Most shield mages are probably just using impact>finale (_)>(closer if smite)

 

i see .. so we dont use shield skill like bash or cannon?

 

Virtually useless if you're up against bosses with extremely high dodge, and dodge of bosses go up with difficulty. Only real benefit is Protection and Aegis having lesser costs, and Perfect Defense if everyone aside from you is downed... Those three Skills, alongside Bless and Heal...

 

The shield bash is still pretty useful for me, although the dodge rates of most bosses in the now late game are ridiculously high. I've seen Kronos's alternative mage build which uses shield cannon as combo opener. But yeah it always comes down to impact-finale-holy fist. If you do get aggro, it's better if you to have a combo with a smited storm + shield bash in it for tanking. If I ever did tank, I can still use the thumble-guardian(save)-shell break(cons) combo (never saw the t4 skills coming, rip sp on martial skills). P.S. Build should always be max int then vit, fvck dex.
