    It's from aspid/adamantoise, probably has the same block rate as other shields its size now.

    It did have some uses but yeah it doesnt really make sense to function the same way with Ochain around.

    Mainly it was used as a skillup shield or a way to get around interupts.

    It barely blocks any damage so even if they brought back the old block rate it couldnt hold a candle to relic or emp shield.

    Its just fun for skill ups and useful for preventing spell interupts like rune said.

    I just dont really see why it needed to get nerfed, when its use was so limited.

    Its a bucker type... PLD did't really use it... rdm used to use it for meeleing mostly (unless like Genbus)... i cant see why they nerfed it to be honest... its smal it blocked a lot then again buckler type doesnt reduce as mutch as Kite or Tower... so i dont see y they made Adjustments. On top its droprate was not like soooo high that everyone could get one.

    Seriously unnerf it it was fine as it was. For skillup and playing around with...

    Spells are designed to be interupted if a mob is wailing on you, with this sheild you could cast reraise or utsu or anything you wanted while the mob is hitting you and very little chance of being interupted. It really was kinda broken.

    I think it was lucky it stayed in the game as long as it did, it finally got their attention for whatever reason and they nerfed it back. No way they will put it back as it was.

    The reason this was nerfed was/is because of Shield Mastery Prior to the addition of Shield Mastery having a shield that blocked 80-90% for little damage reduction meant nothing as that's the trait that prevents interruption during casting which makes this shield broken.

    No other job to do it on and no desire to level up another job at the moment?
