Aw come on not some ridiculios question can't u see the EPEEN of the said shield beholder? Remember tat shield always become the most first to be seen by the masses before ur tank body gear!

Noct Hoplon : free handout gear and before that its only showed u only cleared t6 (esp if u dun have any t789 tank gears) aka scrubs

HA Shield : considering its t8, and its pretty difficult for the masses to clear it, it makes u a bit standoff and it looks cool to match ur HA Blade! Trust me, my static PLD MT with HA blade but with no HA Shield is very sensitive to this situation lol

HS Novus : means ur FILTHY RICH more RICH POWAH on legacy servers!
