<DIV><STRONG>Tower shield V Buckler</STRONG></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Like most guardian out there i am using the buckler right now and on beta with i am finding that fabled Tower shield have about 10% more avoidance.</DIV> <DIV>It has been stated by dev that Block avoidance is superior to all other avoidance in that only the mob level can lower it not its skills.</DIV> <DIV>So how many of are you thinking of droping the buckler in fav of tower shield now? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG>Mitigation from Wisdom line</STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV>With full 8 point the % change is about 1.7% on beta (about 4.5% on live) but we need to spend minim 20 point in the wisdom line to get this. Is it worth or those 20 point can be spend elsewhere more worth while? Having said that if you are goign for Tower Shield build, the only option you have is str 4488 wis 4488 or str 4488 int 4488..... so agin i am not sure how much the extra avoidance from 17 or so parry is worth it .</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG>Eof end abilities Block and Riposte</STRONG></DIV> <DIV><STRONG></STRONG> </DIV> <DIV>Block only block next attack. Now we are getting ToS on reduced timer so given this is it worth spending 5 points to get this?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Riposte, 50% damage reduction sound nice but how many mob (apart form some uebr raid mobs) does this to be worth while?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Lostsandman<BR>Guardian</DIV>
