-2 damage while enchanted
-2 damage while in stance
no hp mod sadly but... what is this worth? O_o

someone must have an idea on what this item can fetch?

I know the tactics is a little high... but the mod is perfect for a stance tank

I paid 100k and 10 ecto for this last night. He was asking 100k and 12 ecto, and when I was trying to get the price down he said he had had offers of 160k~

I hate to spend so crazy on an item but I felt this -2/-2 may be able to be used as a replacement for the -50 life item with the invincimonk build. That would be 3 dmg taken or 1 dmg taken when in a stance and having 105 life not 55. I am wondering if I can get away with using /me and a longer lasting stance like mantra of concentration, but I feel it may not work. When I test I can report back ^^

Even if it doesn't work, I think it will go well with my w/n build which is in the works. I get less benefit from having high life with it, and I may end up running 2 sup runes on her. I don't know what the market for your item will be, maybe a "stance warrior". Your req is a little worse than mine, unless those guys prefer tactics for stances, which may be the case. Still should be worth 100k+. The -2/-2 is perfect unless you count possible crap mods like -3 10% chance or when hexed.

^^ Won't reduce the damage to 1 (i have tried)

I collect this type (-2/-2) of tactics shield and I would pay 25-35K.

Tactics shields with these stat won't hit the 100K mark unless they are req 8 (maybe 9)

The are very strange items and not particularly popular, because only characters who use both stances and enchantments get the full benefit from them, but for the right person they can be valuable. Yours isn't worth much, because it is such a high requirement, but you might be able to sell to someone. I'd go for 20K (given the 11 requirement).

Now if it was a TALL shield with a req of 10 or less, I would have paid a six figure sum in a heartbeat. I have several shields like yours, but none that are a tall shield, and I have been searching for one.
