Best Bucklers post LU24

[Huna]

<DIV>So, now that the top bucklers were nerfed down to be inline with the other bucklers, what are the best bucklers now?  The Ironplate one is looking good because of the mitigation, any others that have mitigation or massive resists on them?  </DIV>

[Chron]

Haven't seen any so far that are better then the Ironplate, which i'm currently using.  If I do find one i'll be sure to post pic here.<div></div>

the best use of the STA line is /respec

[Renzai]

I concur. The free respec was a nice touch.

<div><blockquote><hr>Caedus31 wrote:<div></div>the best use of the STA line is /respec<hr></blockquote>My favorite part about all these grumblings with the bukcler change is that most of the people started down the Stamina line before they even knew of these overpowered bucklers. Some people probably switched to it after they found these shields but that's probably a case of needing a glitch, bug or other idiosyncrasy in order to keep up with the rest of the Zerks out there. It's also possible I'm just an [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]. Any of those possiblilities work for me <span>:smileywink:For non-dropped shields, there's a decent one that is a quest reward early in the Claymore line (one of the shields of Bylze). I haven't checked yet but there might be one availble as a reward for killing the Devourer in Bonemire (the quest is at the Dreadnever crash site).</span></div>

<DIV><FONT color=#00cc99>I'm personally a fan of the Ethereal Buckler of Bylze ( aITEM 2092429386 271527823:Ethereal Buckler of Bylze/a ) for defense. I'm looking to get an ironplate shielding for use as well.

Why respec ?  Does the STA line still have the most DPS, all other things being  equal ? <div></div>

[Zerv]

<div></div><div></div>the stamina line is still fantastic -it was way overpowered people took it just for that reason are complaining - it is balanced nowit's still completely viable for a raid tank, the aggro holding is incredible - and for pvp server almost mandatory due to double attack/360 protection and reversalI'm using Enameled Kiteshield of the witchdoctor - which is a decent one also18str18wis20int65 hp/pow+840 heat/cold/poison392 protectiondecent graphic looks like sbs kinda<span class="itemTitle"></span><strong></strong><div></div><p>Message Edited by Zervun on <span class=date_text>06-23-2006</span> <span class=time_text>10:47 AM</span>
