Smallest shield in the game is.. - Guild Wars Forums

Cosmitz · Jul 11, 2008, 05:01 AM // 05:01

What? Seriously, i need to get an inconspicuous shield for a certain style i'm trying to pull with a character. I've wikied and i've tested some.. but either they were too big, or too flashy (ala Diamond Aegis or such). If nothing else, i'm looking for something that alteast has the appearance of a hand-protector, like the Enameled Shield or the Adamantium Shield, only smaller.

And yes, while i can use a focus, i really want that 16 armor. ;p

PS: Tactics.

Lyonette · Jul 11, 2008, 05:15 AM // 05:15

how funky wuld it be if say the celestial compass came in a shield version? xD

i don't think your going to find a shield smaller then the diamond aegis tho... have you tried a lotus shield?

A11Eur0 · Jul 11, 2008, 05:25 AM // 05:25

lotus/diamond/iridescent
Tengu shield is pretty small
zodiac shield, reinforced defender(paragon only), ancient shield, copperleaf shield...

those are the smallest I can find on wiki.

Cosmitz · Jul 11, 2008, 05:50 AM // 05:50

Heh yea.. i'd be half-tempted to get one for the look, but then i'd end up hating myself evreytime i died saying "i KNEW i should have gotten that shield". ;P

As for the shield reomendations, lotus is kinda undyable, and not really works with the setup. Diamond/Iridiscent, too flashy, same for Zodiac. I'll see about the Tengu, think i'll have a redo of the BMP today and check it out.

The Ancient Shield might be a good pick tbh, but i still need to find one, necessarily R9, not because of me beeing uber-elitistic, but because i can have a max of 9 points into Tactics for the build. As for the Copperleaf.. i think it's a bit too "fat" ;P

Thanks for the suggestions, and keep them coming

Enameled Shield isn't that big.

However, the smallest shield to my knowledge is the embossed aegis.

This is my warrior, Prince Xavier. He is the shortest possible warrior you can make. The Embossed Aegis is tiny.

Pleikki · Jul 11, 2008, 06:10 AM // 06:10

Amber aegis, diamond aegis, iridescent..

garethporlest18 · Jul 11, 2008, 06:17 AM // 06:17

I don't think you quite read the thread Pleikki :P Anyways I'd say Ancient Shield is about the smallest you can get I from what I've seen.

Cosmitz · Jul 11, 2008, 06:22 AM // 06:22

Rahja> Tried the embossed aegis, while it is small, it has two flaws. Enormous space on my Dervish between the shield and the hand that is supposed to hold it. Something that is seriously visibile. And again, a too "in your face" look. I mean this thing just shines and reflects evreything ;P

Pleikki> It's not THAT big of a thread to give the old TL;DR excuse.

And yea, the Ancient seems to fit more and more into what i want. Still, who knows.. i'm still waiting for ideeas until i find a seller for it.

Later Edit: olol.. Found a seller in under 2 minutes of posting the Party Search. And it looks perfect for what i want to do with it.
Thanks for the help, evreyone!

Sha Noran · Jul 11, 2008, 06:32 AM // 06:32

You want a Signet Shield. Thank me later.

Cosmitz · Jul 11, 2008, 06:40 AM // 06:40

Tried that before, again, it's too flashy, and the shape dident go well with me or the character's look. ;P

Shadow_of_Nobody · Jul 11, 2008, 07:38 AM // 07:38

well if your a warrior the smallest shield in the game is the Chimeric Prism +16ar (q8) +5nrg , but the only downside is its unmoddable and it was a european prophecies pre order item.

**cosyfiep** · Jul 11, 2008, 08:04 AM // 08:04

bladed shield is pretty small...and the exalted aegis isnt really big either...and the outcast shield is small but hard to get a good one of....thats all I can think of at this time----

SpotJorge · Jul 11, 2008, 08:10 AM // 08:10

smallest shield i guess its bubaos shield

graverobber2 · Jul 11, 2008, 08:36 AM // 08:36

http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Chimeric_Prism

when used with 8 strenght, it gives you 16 def (and a standard +5 energy)
it's a promo item, though

I was going to mention this one as well. It's a shield that gives you +5 energy. Unfortunately, it's more of a warrior thing.

BladeWind · Jul 11, 2008, 02:11 PM // 14:11

Not a shield BUT

Get a necromancer Grim cesta incrip. Thats a perfect "hand protector"

Then you could easily mod it with a 10 armour vs mod of your choice.

stick on a 30 health core, and you have some energy to boot.

Just an idea..

Heraldic Shield, maybe? I don't know what else would work.

Monk of Demise · Jul 11, 2008, 03:11 PM // 15:11

sea purse shield

CHAOSLEGION · Jul 11, 2008, 06:08 PM // 18:08
