Thats because Aegis has nearly twice the defense that Kaiser does. As for block rate your best bet would be search but if your friend is in 2 minds then do another relic (sword if he wants to do one for pld) as he will get far more mileage out of it unless he is planning to tank AV.
Nvm, I forgot to read the latter half of his post.
Yeah, sword would have been my choice too but Bravura is a beast!
I find your lack of search disturbing... http://www.bluegartr.com/forum/showp...38&postcount=7 Aegis kicks ass because of its high DEF rating, which offers a bonus in damage reduction of DEF/2 over all other shields of its type. You know, plus the retarded shield bashes and no need for other MDT gear ever again.
Anyone else get that rated T warning when they hit play? most random shit ever lol.
I did actually search before, although again I don't actually see much evidence to support those claims. The only good tests were those done by I think Ferien. Those tests led to the base damage reduction on shields. It's been a long time since they were done though and I can't actually find the data (I think it's on zam somewhere...). If the data and testing methods aren't posted then why should anybody believe it?
Should add to the list of questions how DEF rating affects damage blocked~
Anyone figure out for Elite Training chapters for FoV makes a difference in augments?
EDIT: Nevermind, random is random.
