i know i'm still not crazy about the warrior nerf, i think anet should help the warriors out in Nightfall with some new shields. i'd like to see greens that have fire/cold/ect... mods.
i'm still on the fence with shields that have armor against Holy, Dark, Shadow, ect.. damage. not sure if those types should be implimented or not. anway, here goes:

req9 tactics Gothic Defender armor 16, +10 vs Fire, +30 Health

if thats too strong, then

req9 tactics Gothic Defender armor 16, +10 vs Fire, +45 Stance

or last not but not least:

req9 tactics Gothic Defender armor 16, +10 vs Fire, reduces blindness 20%

the first major downside to these shields is the amount of shields we would have to carry as warriors. i know i've got around 10 but could get buy on 4.
also, you would need each shield to have a strength and tactics req to be fair.

Dream Shield that Anet will never make :

req9 tactics Gothic Defender armor 16, +10 vs elemental, +30 health

i also don't think having a shield like this would be bad:

req9 tactics Gothic Defender armor 16, reduces blindness 20%, poison 20%, bleeding 20%,

if your going to have a condition shield, give us 3 conditions please ! that would make for a nice green.

anyway, just some thoughts ...

I think something similar to this has already been posted in Sardelac Sanitarium where you POST YOUR IDEAS and the community gives you feedback.
Just something you might want to consider.

But I'd like to see some elemental damage reducing shields.

I wouldn't be suprised if it wasn't already planned. Sure seems like something more then "game balance" was going on with the armor nerf, as I mentioned the other day. Your idea would be another good reason to add to possibilities for the nerf.

Other possible reasons mentioned HERE.

Orrr.. remove the latest nerf would work just fine too.

Well, I don't know if these shields are rare, but I found a shield with +10 vs lightning just the another day. I don't think they're new for some reason..

Whats wrong with just switching to Leagionairs glove and boots ? +20 armour in a stance.
Use a stance shield +45 hp's.
OK its not global but would help, or maybe just run with mesmer for elemental resistance.

To Xaero Gouki Kriegor-
Yeah sorry I was thinking in terms of globally in regard to armour, that was a mistake, then came back and edited only forgot to read what i'd said about the +20. I think what I was trying to get at really was more along the lines of using stances to help with elemental damage then further helping armour in stances by wearing Leagionairs and with stance shields also getting the +45 hp's.

legionaire is +10 while in stance*
and some people are finding it hard to farm certain things such as ice imps, even with the elemental resistance, but ive heard these claims from just individuals, i dunno if they used sentinel armor or not, and speaking of resistance and etc, when fighting another war in combat, i guess elemental weapon is best, since they will not have any damage reduction and will still have only the 80-90 al agaisnt it instead of the 100 al like they have agaisnt physical. (i excluded sentinel from the previous sentence just because i dont think there is much use for it except for farming things taht will do elemental damage)
