Shields base-AL? - Guild Wars Forums

Iggit · Dec 27, 2005, 11:28 AM // 11:28

Yeah, I was looking for what a shields base-damage is. I have one with AL 12 that requires 9 tactics (it's the 'while enchanted' from the collector). I find it pretty nice, though im not a warior as 2nd, im a ranger. Now I'd like to know what the base-Al is, as I can calculate what's better: a focus or the shield... I hope you guys can help me out

Do you mean what armour it gives if you don't meet the requirement?

De Skjeve Rechtn · Dec 27, 2005, 12:02 PM // 12:02

Max Armor of a shield is 16.

max armor without req. = 8
Max armor without attribute is different, I think about 5 armor

Yes. I've been told that if you don't have the requirement you get a 'base-armor level.' So say i have a shield that requires a lvl 9 in tactics. I dont have a single point in tactics, so what profit for wearing a shield (in armor lvl) will I get? I'd really like to know that...

I'd go with LifeInfusion on this, i had a look around and everyone just says base or starter shield so i assume thats 4 or 5.

I guess this is the same shield tht you asked about in your other topic with the +45 health and -2 dmg in stance.

IMO and it is just my opinion, you might want to just get yourself a nice 10 armour candy shield that has no requirements and switch between the 2 while fighting to see what comes off better.
