Ok, so I seem to be having a hard time always finding a good shield for my paragon. Not that there is anything wrong with the ones they have now. It is just that I really am getting tired of my blue Shield Of The Wing, and would like to have it in a gold version. All of the shields I like that would go well with my paragon's Obsidian armour, just happen to only come in the warrior attributes. I would just like to have some of those good looking warrior shields with paragon attributes as well. For example: Tall Shield, how many warriors do you see that like to show this shield off? Not many, but it looks great with my paragon, and any other paragon I am sure. I am sure it's not just me with shields. I bet someone is tired of this drawback as well. PLEASE! Think of the paragons. :3

NOTE: I will be editing this post quite often. :3

I already have Tormented shield, I just prefer some of the warrior only attribute skins. E.G:

Lol, I love the outcast shield, but sadly it only comes in strength and tactics. I seriously doubt it will come in paragon attributes but I do keep my warrior shields and wear them on my paragon even though I only get the half armour bonus.

I agree with this, even though all the cool staves I like are already for every attribute, such as Outcast (my favourite staff).

IMAGES: (Moderators if you feel these images are too large could you link them instead of deleting them, please and thank you.) Just showing some images of how good these shields look. ;p

(Just because someone mentioned Tormented even though they do come in paragon attributes)

(Lol ok, no shield but seriously how cute does that combo look? ^^)

Pretty sure that if he likes Tall shield, which he does, he wouldnt like that pink gay excuse of a shield the whispers dude gives ya..
Not many people use shields like that (tall shield) because they dont increase your epeen the way a "Tormi shield" seems to do.

Item colour doesnt matter that much really, as 99.9% of the time, nobody but yourself sees it and its unlikely that you go around constantly looking at your own item stats.

I do agree that shield of the wing should be puit in para reqs, as it does look awesome with them. in the end I had to go with enternal shield and dye my armor to match lol.

I was thinking, maybe make something like an inscription slot for required attribute being linked lol

. So you get a staff with say req10, and you can put the inscription-thingie for say Blood magic, receiving a staff with req10 Blood as a result

I agree, there are some cool profession-limited staves atm :/

It is a bit of a bummer, i agree. Since PvE is easy, it doesnt really matter to much if you dont get full armour from your shield. You could always put some points into tactics and grab a tactics one.

While we're at it, how about a Shield of The Wing linked to Strength?

I've always liked it, so elegant and understated, but I hardly spend any point in Tactics right now...

Shame it won't happen...

Maybe you know this, but I'll add it anyway just in case. You can craft Shield of the Wing with either warrior or paragon attributes (if you don't mind the blue lettering): http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hulen_Hairyback

But yes, I'd like to see some shield come with paragon attributes too (Darkwing Defender for example).

/Signed, but only if Paragon shields drop with warrior attributes too Q_Q

I want an Areaute Aegis with Warrior Attributes.

TheodenKing · Apr 14, 2009, 03:52 PM // 15:52

If you want to try something different, do the Saul D'Alessio bonus mission and make yourself a para Mursaat shield. The dye combinations are tricky, but you can come up with something pretty unique-looking. Also, the Destroyer Shield looks good with the Destroyer Spear. There are a couple nice-looking shields for para in DoA as well.

My para is using two Aureate Aegis... no epeen, but r7 Command/AL15 and r8 Motiv/AL16 make it worthwhile for the builds.

There are some items that are logically attached to a certain attribute, like Fire Staves to fire magic, or daggers to Dagger Mastery.

But others have appearance not related at all to profession, like many staves, wands, foci and shields.
The latter should appear in all possible attributes the item can be linked to.

Goddess Of Defense · Apr 19, 2009, 08:49 PM // 20:49

My main point is that all shields should come on every attribute, paragon and warrior. Some warrior shields I would love to see on my paragon can only be used for half the armour bonus if i don't put my attribute up.
