Female monk and shields - Guild Wars Forums

ashes · Apr 14, 2008, 05:15 AM // 05:15

Hey guys

I just started playing on my female monk again, and i need a shield for her. But as you all know, female monk has a serious clipping issue with most shield, although some looks fairly good.

So basically all i ask is, if some of you guys out there can name some shields that do not clip on a female monk. Ingame screenshots would be nice too ;D

BTW i got the labyrinth armor from grotto.

Ah, nice armor choice, I have that armor too. Aureate Aegis, Amber/Iridescent/Diamond Aegis, they're what I use. Guildwiki usually'll tell you if there's a shield that clips or has weird placement. I will note that an iridescent shield, and probably its two sister shields (the amber and diamond), hover over your hand, but it's not too bad.

kappa shield, diamond/amber/iridiscent aegis, guardian of the hunt, darkwing defender.

i use a reinforced defender on my female monk. looks good i think and doesn't sit weirdly.

A lot of clipping issues between female monks and shields were fixed sometime around the release of Eotn. Very few(if any) shields clipped with female monks now.

The Diamond Aegis works well, I used to use them on my monk (can't really be bothered with that much more). As said the clipping issues were fixed, mostly.

PM if you want an aegis or two, they're collecting dust at the moment.

Amethyst Aegis looks good with some armors/colors.

double post -.-

hmm thanks for the reply.

I've tryed a couple of those you recommend, i've tryed tryed darkwing, amethyst, diamond, magma and kappa shield but they all look too clumsy, too big or too far away from her arm.

I want a "lite" shield, so she looks heavenly/angelic

As wand/offhand im going for platinum wand and celestial compass.

BTW how does the celestial shield goes with female monks?

Embossed Aegis is smaller in size, however its not the most pretty shield for a female monk, might be judtt trial and error til you find one ya like
