Tactic Shields - Guild Wars Forums

Ok, I know I am a little strange but my W/Mo20 doesn't have any str invested and instead has tactics. I'm a little bored so I was trying to add coolness factor to my warrior. I'm pretty sure that Magma's, Shadow, and eternal are str only shields. Does anyone know of a cool-looking shield like any of the 3 I mentioned tactics-wise?

The best looking shield in the game is the Tall shield, and it's a tactics shield! Other popular tactics shields are the aegis/wing shield and the skeleton shield.

I prefer the Defender model... it goes by another name as well... Tower Shield maybe, but all I've seen of those have had strength reqs.

I use the crimson carapace shield from the collector because I'm poor, but the Shield of the Wing (or Aegis) is a very hawt shield.

I use tall shield, shield of the wing/aegis if tactics or Defender/Eternal Shield if Strength.

Can you dye the eyes of the Skeleton shield (via just dying the armor) like the Shadow shield? The red eyes glow looks very cool on the Shadow so I may be able to do something similar.

Grigori Sokolov · Aug 31, 2005, 08:31 PM // 20:31

I believe the skeleton shield dyes so that the entire shield does not just the eyes. I agree, this would look cool though. [/ponder]

I don't use any strength based skills on my W/Mo either, so I don't waste attribute points in that area.

Tactic Shields are:
Round Shields
Ornate Bucklers
Shield of the Wing
Aegis
Tall Shield
Reinforced Buckler
Summit?

Strength Shields are:
Defender
Skeleton
Shadow
Eternal

I may have missed some.

Well if you can afford the attribute points, 10 points of strength is a permanent sundering

And I think skeleton is tactics

...for attack skills only though, not all attacks.
