Hello all!

There has been a lot of discussion as to which shield is better bla bla. I'm not looking for that discussion.

What I want to know is, what shield do you use and for what content do you use it? We are in a interesting position in that we have many options for our off-hand.

I'll start. Numbers represent Block Strength/Block Rate

Weathered Noct Shield 304/119: I love it. I use on bosses, the block rate is ok, not as bad as some state, to me anyway. Missed blocks generally turn into parries, so there is some steady mitigation there. This shield shines with bulwark for sure. At times just for S&G's I'll pop bulwark and awareness, it's fun.

Allagan Round Shield 181/181: This is also a great shield. I use it for speed runs when performing long/large pulls. For me it seems to flatten out the dmg a bit.

No onion shield yet but I bet that would be pretty nice for speed runs too.

Holy Shield Zenith...it's just shineyz now.

That's my 2g. Share yours!
