Shields

[Whtegranite]

<p>I know that we are supposed to use bucklers and such... but does anyone know any high end good roundshields available to use by the mystics? I found a nice legendary one around level 40 and I have used it until I hit 61 and could use the Bulwork of the Brave which is just a treasured one. Ive looked all around, was just wondering if anyone had any information. Thanks <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

i've seen a few usable round shields.  Granted I stopped looking after i started using 2 handers only.  I believe bucklers are the choice because Crippling Bash has to have buckler equiped to do.

I use the Beerstained Buckler which is a reward from the Dwarven Stein collection quest. Admittedly it can be a bit pricey if you need to buy the Gold Stein but if you happen to harvest it for yourself then it is one of the nicest non fabled bucklers in the game. It replaced my Buckler of Blight.

I haven't looked for a shield in ages but when I last looked (admittedly I was in my late 50s at the time so a long while ago) all the shields for sale were bucklers. I had a friend pick up a roundshield that was priest useable but I've never personally seen one drop or on the broker.</p><p>Could also be due to the fact that most roundshields can't be used by mystics so many mystics assume that none can be.</p>

I used to have the crippling bash, but I am now gear towards dps and solo with the melee and agi lines etc, hehe so roundshields give a nice bit more of avoidence. I know that they are not made for priests, but was just seeing if anyone knew any other shields that were in the 'loop hole'. Other than that, Ive seen the beer stained one and the blight one but thanks for letting me know what some of out better bucklers are as well <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

BTW I saw an awesome buckler from Unrest today... so need for silly loophole roundshields lol. Now the tough part, getting the shield for myself.

I assume you mean the one that drops of Festering Hag?  Has 500+ protection so we will be fighting buckler tanks for that one... dropped for me the other day but ended up an upgrade for our OT
