+8 Ac vs. Blunt for sure I have the shield still I think
I'm pretty sure I've seen 20% diseased but it's been a while

Could you also list the available combinations of double reduction shields? e.g. -2 ench/-3 hex don't exist while -2 stance/-3 hex does.

Since physical attacks are split into blunt, piercing etc., there's isn't a general +armor vs physical mod.

Also, I think the +armor mod for air is called "+Armor vs. Lightning"

They upped all the +armors to +10.

Specifically, it's most caster attributes (I think it's the primary caster attributes that aren't available), Strength, and Tactics.

I doubt it exists, simply because Burning lasts all of 2-3 seconds on someone already. However, there are quite a few useless mods floating around (Heavy Axe Haft anyone?)

Also, it helps if you split the shield types into Strength and Tactics based.

People actually acknowledge its existence?

This is sorta trivial, but rare's have a max hp bonus of +30 while collectors and greens can be +45hp while in a stance.

Lord Sabir · Mar 18, 2006, 08:26 PM // 20:26

Aren't there a few shields out there that do -2 dmg (always)?

They changed that in a recent update.

No.

Thanks for your comments. I have updated the list with some of the suggestions.

I've heard mention of this but it's always a friend of a friend...I'll wait for the SS before I buy it.

yay made Rocinante at some point...

Vermilion Okeanos · Mar 20, 2006, 11:54 AM // 11:54

Adding Green name shields would be helpful as well.

This thread doesn't belong here... does it?

Moa Bird Cultist · Mar 20, 2006, 03:37 PM // 15:37

It may not belong here, but it's certainly a useful reference for shield stats. Thanks for compiling this!

EpicFoe · Mar 20, 2006, 06:31 PM // 18:31

If a shield requirement says, say 2 for tactics, does that mean that any listed enhancements will not work unless you have 2 in tactics?

Example
Armor +6=req 2 tactics
Armor +10 vs elem attacks
Armor +10 vs Charr
