The buckler on that loot table is pretty nifty if you ask me. I think it also underlines Sony giving support to the sta line as the buckler seems obviously geared for someone taking consistent hits, i.e. us.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Can't wait to loot one!</DIV>

Nice...off a contested mob, I bet the hardcore guild of my server's warriors are estastic they all get a fabled buckler.  I'm sorry they can do better, I just hope more are in EoF in raid zones and not so elusive as being on a contested mob.<div></div>

<FONT color=#00cc99>That buckler is pretty amazing, and I don't mean to gripe here, just pointing some things out. I'm not sure I care for the mixed stats, and it wouldn't actually give a whole lot more evasion than the Azjer'orz Guard (~1% more block but no +defense.) It also is a bit less friendly to pure tanking stats.  The proc however may as well be -12 damage off every hit. Not a lot while raiding, but when blowing through a group instance that is pretty great. The resists are so-so, heat/cold is super common/easy (I managed to do over 13k cold resist recently as a joke) but magic is at a bit more difficult, so that's good. Could use a little tweaking to make it a worthy step-up from the fairly easy to get legendary to (very) difficult to get raid loot, as right now I'd almost say the Azjer'orz Guard would still offer more physical damage reduction against heavy hitters, at least if you're below defense cap.</FONT>
