Please tell me the biggest shields in-game, thanks :]

Nebuchadnezzer · Aug 05, 2007, 07:02 AM // 07:02

Tallest shield is probably Aurete Aegises for paragon. If you concider width aswell its probably a Defender (Strength) (strength pvp shield).

Darkpower Alchemist · Aug 05, 2007, 07:17 AM // 07:17

The Shield of Wing/Aegis skin is more than likely the largest, then the Defender. Aureate Shields are the longest,followed by Ornate Shields from Factions. Then the Forgotten Shield. Everything else is smaller by far.

lyra_song · Aug 05, 2007, 07:20 AM // 07:20

are we talking height/width or overall square footage?

Xilos · Aug 05, 2007, 07:29 AM // 07:29

Square footage I guess lol

I think the tormented shield is very large as well

BigDave · Aug 05, 2007, 11:56 AM // 11:56

The eagle defender is quite big.

I agree Tanzit's Defender is huge.

pumpkin pie · Aug 05, 2007, 04:51 PM // 16:51

I think the aureate aegis is bigger but need to have 2 of them stand side by side to be sure.

lyra_song · Aug 05, 2007, 05:28 PM // 17:28

Remember weapon scales with the character size, so you need two characters of the same class and same height to hold the same shield for comparison.

Wraith of Shadows · Aug 05, 2007, 06:20 PM // 18:20

im curious to why u are asking xilos.

VitisVinifera · Aug 05, 2007, 06:40 PM // 18:40

probably for the same reason that people like large weapons; they just look more impressive, ie colossal scimitar and fellblade

anyways yeah Tanzit's Defender is massive

foo · Aug 05, 2007, 07:32 PM // 19:32

I'm wondering something else;

which is the smallest shield?

Leonhart · Aug 05, 2007, 08:54 PM // 20:54

I always thought the Tower Shield, seemed kinda bulky.

Contrary to popular belief, unrealistically large equipment looks like crap.

And I'm going to have to go with Tanzits, although I would have to observe them side-by-side to be sure.

I would guess the kappa shield/embossed aegis is after comparing all of the shields with warrior attributes. Then the copperleaf/vabbian tower shield for paragons. I checked them in a hurry so I may be wrong.

Nebuchadnezzer · Aug 05, 2007, 11:27 PM // 23:27

Smallest would probably be the Canthan preorder buckler, if I remember it right, not that it really counts though being preorder only.

Leonhart · Aug 06, 2007, 12:51 AM // 00:51

Smallest would be the Bladed Shield or Outcast Shield I think.

Stolen Souls · Aug 06, 2007, 01:11 AM // 01:11

Smallest I'd probably agree on the Outcast Shield.
