What Shield Should I Use if I am Using Fiery Dragon Sword

Hi. I haven't seen any Shield (im using the one from Kaining Center NPC). I'm just wondering what shield should I use that will match the skin of a Fiery Dragon Sword?

I'm not planning to put many points in Tactics, so I am thinking of a shield that is Strength based.

Any suggestion?

A shield with
-20% Cripple
-20% Blind
+10 Fire
+10 Light
+10 Slashing
+10 Piercing
+10 Blunt
Maybe +10 Cold

+30 Health
If you can, get both Tactic Shields and Strength shields, but Tactics is usually saved for gimmicks or bad skills.

There really isn't shield to match the skin of a fiery dragon sword, given that most of it is simply a fire particle effect. Still, the default handle color is a sort of gold color. Nightfall has a lotus shield, which is a fairly common skin, but has a nice golden color that matches the hilt of the dragon sword pretty well.

Oh Sorry
Gothic Defender dyed yellow
Or Outcast Shield
Or Kournan Defender
Or Darkwing Defender

Thanks. i'll go WIKI and look for Lotus and Magma shield.

Thanks.

Please let me know if there are other skin that will look fairly good with FDS.

A shiny metallic shield would go best, in the same colour as your Dragon Sword if possible - Darkwing Defenders are pretty snazzy and Strength-req.

And on str. vs tac shields - Strength all the way.
Ever since the advent of "Save Yourselves!" replacing "Watch Yourself!" on all my bars, any compelling reason to spec Tactics has all but gone. There is Healsig, but whenever I deign to take it, it sits on my bar totally unused because the AI covered by "SY!" can easily keep me healed.

I was looking at Darkwing

I think it's cool. I hope it is not rare. Ill go and check price.

Thanks.

Enameled Shield plox

that's nice. but it's tactics based.

Magma shield defo. Strength based but basically it just works NIIIICE with the the fiery sword

what armor are u using

this i think will go good with the sword http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Magmas_Shield

A lot of you have said that Magmas Shield is good for FDS. So, i guess ill get that one even if dye wont change the skin.

Thanks. My armor is from Consulate Docks.

I think im going to dye it (the armor) with Red-combined-with-yellow dye. I still don't know what color will come out of it.

I don't think I'll be able to get armor that will match with FDS. I'm only planning to get one from Consulate Docks, put a 50hp and Vitae on it and it will be my armor for the rest of my character's life already. The reason why I asked for a matching shield for FDS is because the shield i am currently using is a circular grey (one from Kaineng Center) and they aren't really nice to look at. even the shield from Bonus Weapon doesn't look great for an FDS.

Personally I like the look of the Emblazoned Defender with FDS.

Though I used to like this combo way back when....
