Endgame shields beyond Aegis/Ochain

[Aeonk]

Save the same, tired talking points. What I'd like to see are elemental Magian shields that can serve varying purposes and encourage flexibility.

Examples:

Earth 99 Shield--VIT +11, Physical Damage Taken -11% (basically the same stats as the Earth Shikargar), "Shield Bash": Adds "Slow" effect

Water 99 Shield--MND +11, Magic Defense Bonus +11, "Shield Bash": Adds "Magic Defense Down" effect (Poison and Drown don't seem appropriate)

You get the idea. Some quality shields that still take some work to build but not requiring the connections.

You left out some pretty important stats about these hypothetical shields.

What size are they? What's the defense on it? Block rate?

the stats you've listed are pretty insignificant compared to what you've left out. Cause if we're looking at Genbu Shield 2.0... I'd take an AH shield over that.

I'd say the most important part of your question is the type/size - i'd except this to be type 3:kite (with avg block and dmg mitigation). No way should a standard magian trial reward blockrates of anything close to aegis' rates. Defense would be scaled to lvl 99 kite shield inherently.

I figured those would be desired stats, but it's always good to get it in writing just for the sake of formality. It's really not a bad idea, but best to make sure it's fleshed out with less room for someone to just "fill in the gaps" if you know what I mean.

You're talking like he's actually putting these onto the test server....
