Post pictures of your gear IV: Oh hey, you're a Paladin too?

[Hyriu]

Yeah, turban for HP/MP +1% Haste, other than that you could HQ ear1 and the Lamian Kaman and it's a pretty solid set.

[Avarice]

Terror Shield is nice for Campaign, but otherwise I'd go with Wivre (or Wivre +1) if you're looking for Enmity.

[Omnipotent]

Isn't Koenig Shield better?

[Massimo]

Sniper's ring +1 is nice for meleeing, but otherwise I'd go with Blitz (or Bloodbead) if you're looking to zerg.

So you'd drop 20 HP and 8 DEF on a shield for 1 enmity. 'kay

[Omnipotent]

Nvm, thought it was a wivre shield, still don't know all the new items yet.

Terror Shield is nice for Campaign, but otherwise I'd go with Wivre (or Wivre +1) if you're looking for Enmity.

I used to have a Wivre Shield, the enmity was nice but the lower defense didn't help much with damage mitigation. The damage I took when switching from Koenig to Wivre was noticeable, at least to me. That's just my opinion though, from my own experiences.

Hm I've compared Koenig Shield versus Terror Shield

Koenig Shield
All Races
DEF: 22 VIT +5 CHR +5 Enmity +3
Enhances Effect of "Beast Killer"

Terror Shield
All Races
DEF: 20 HP +20 Enmity +4
Campaign: Damage taken -10%

The only real difference between them is that Terror has no VIT, CHR, and Beast Killer, and just a slightly lower defense, for 1 more enmity and HP+20. Both shields are Size 3, so block rates aren't affected.

I guess when it comes down to it, it's a personal choice, unless there's something I don't know about those two shields specifically.

shitty gear is shitty gb2k

Constructive criticism. Would you like a beer with your sandwich, honey bunny? <3

no TP dex sets?

I do have them, but they're rather incomplete atm (no Askar head/hands... my static is 3/45 or so on ANY drops from any Nyzul bosses, most kills with TH3 or TH4. Never heard of another group having it that bad...)

No screenshot since I'm about to go into Dyna but:
Range: Lightning Bow +1
Head: Turban (to be replaced with Askar)
Neck: Ancient Torque
Earrings: Brutal/Pixie or Pixie/Suppa depending on weapons
Body: Adaberk
Hands: Dusk
Rings: Rajas/Iota
Back: Cuchulain
Waist: Vbelt
Legs: Byakko's
Feet: Aurum

This puts me at capped crits for Colibris. Obviously could be optimized with Askar.
EDIT: Just saw a potential change I could make. I could swap Iota Ring for a Thunder Ring and then I could use Fire Bomblet. I'd still make crit cap on colibri both /NIN and /SAM. Gonna fix that up after Dyna.

"Pow! Crit! Pow! Crit! Crit! WS! Crit! Pow! Crit!"
<Partymember> Jesus, lol

Nice analogy, gonna keep trying for that Askar. XD

Ritter?

I'll be honest... I didn't put a whole lot of thought into that macro, I pretty much just grabbed a bunch of high defense gear from PLD and slap it on. Ritter does have good DEF and +25 HP though, and I've found having a good chunk of HP helps when you're getting beat on and mages are likely cure bombing you. If you have good alternatives for this set I'd like to hear them. ;_;

Nice gear in general. XD Think I might also do the bolded when I'm high enough, giving up the 3 acc from Sniper's +1 makes me sad. XD

Thank you! I find that generally you can usually count on 2 hits landing, or at the very least taking a hit or 2 to push you over. XD

Well, for endgame VIT is lol; and CHR really only affects Killer procs. And then Koenig's Beast Killer proc rate on its own is abnormally low. So the only thing I see between those two is 2DEF versus 20HP and 1 Enmity.

If you've ever tanked Cerberus you'd know how much better it is. Ever had KB stun you + meteor, and have the shield proc? It happens quite often and the proc rate is higher than most people give credit for; 1 Enmity is nothing when you lose 500+ CE due to getting stomped. Bahamut's Mask + CHR = Tiamat/FF/NH intimidation.
Clear-cut winner? Aegis!

[Furionstormrage]

Barring an Aegis, the answer is Kaiser or Wivre +1.

Whiteboxes > usefulness

That is true, style is 90% of this game. Why tank something if you dont look fucking awesome doing it!?

Dont be jealous.

I'm such a douche.
