<P>I carry a stack (like 6) of the SotS quest reward ones on top of the tower shields from the claymore line just in case I ever manage to destroy 4 fabled tower shields in one instance... A feat I have not been close to accomplishing recently.</P> <P>Early on i used to eat them by the wagon load but between moving to encounters where its not me dying thats the problem aswell as getting ToS M1 its been reduced to maybe 2-3 uses per raid. I find i use stonesphere just as much, if not more than ToS in general. </P> <P>Anyway that would add up to 12 tower shields + 2 bucklers + 1 kite shield... 15 total. /love tardis bags.</P>

<P>First, thank you Domiuk for starting this thread. This is something I've always wondered but never asked.</P> <P>Second, I'm currently carrying 9.. Draconic, Grizz, and then multiple quested and crafted towers. I used to only carry 6 towers but I burned through all of them once and looked like an idiot (immediately proceed to broker and buy 2 more). It was nice to have the Draconic though... at least I had a shield.</P>

<DIV>I carry 10 atm.  3 bucklers, 4 xegonite tower shields, and 3 legendary tower shields from claymore and Grizzfazzle.  I have most of one hotbar dedicated to shields so that I can change them quickly.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I only have Adept III of ToS, but I use it quite often.  I did break all of my tower shields once, and immediately bought 3 more xegonite shields just in case.</DIV>

<font size="3"><font face="Arial">Ok. I have only been on 2 raids, so call me a newb.  How do shields get destroyed when armor doesn't.  If you get killed your armor takes a 10% hit does a shield take more?Like I said, might be a dumb question, but I don't know the answer.</font></font><div></div>

<DIV>tower of stone lvl 58 guardian ancient teachings ca, it damages the shield for each attack it assorbs while its up, higher versions of it reduce the dmg done</DIV>

<P>I carry 3 bucklers, 9 Towers, and a kite shield, all different, all T7+, all used when I need dfferent resist packages.  I have no "throwaway" shields, as Tower of Stone is at Master level, dealing only 12% damage to a shield for a full 3-hit use.  When I get home I can post my list of the names.</P> <P> </P> <P>Typically I always use different bucklers.  The only time a tower shield comes into play is when I need to hotswap for Tower of Stone, and then as soon as the 3 hits are over I switch right back to my buckler of choice.</P>

<DIV>My list</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Qeynos Guard</DIV> <DIV>Vilucidaies Etheral Guard</DIV> <DIV>Fabled Shield of Venekor forgets its name</DIV> <DIV>Grizz's Shield</DIV> <DIV>Shield of the 4 Winds</DIV> <DIV>That other ghostly shield from the one of the first claymore quests in SoS</DIV> <DIV>1 Xegonite shield</DIV> <DIV>10 Adamantine Shields</DIV> <DIV>Kite shield from Roost (has mega resists when needed)</DIV> <DIV>Archaic Buckler</DIV> <DIV>Ironplate buckler</DIV> <DIV>Azejor Guard or however its spelled</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So 21 shields</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I got the adamantine cause i am ToS crazy prolly over use it although there is no such thing hehe.  Basicly on most but harder named i swap in the junker adamantine shield eat up ToS then on to Villucidaies or a buckler.  I can use ToS20+ times in a raid if I dont die and only spend 1 or 2 gold tops to repair.  Its a cheap way to use ToS ALOT and one hotkey works as it just randomly will pop a Adamantine shield to use from your bag.</DIV>
