    lets compare

    95 blocked
    120 block rate
    vintage kite shield

    the current best shield in the game

    with this shield i range from 10-20% block rate, while using deflection+ambidextry at the same time to maximize the block rate, plus 5/6 sent gear for extra block rate (missing legs, cant get the stupid key to drop, 20+ kills with only 1 key)

    now the problem is back when we had the block ability I had a block rate of around 75% (and yah I always kept the shield up)

    a high block rate shield is what is needed the most, all your damage blocked on your normal shield is useless if you do not block :P

    the new shield is
    168 block
    71 def

    lets look at this trade off. an extra 48 block rate, with 24 less def. that is a 2 to 1 trade off....now also add +15 evasion....best shield in the game

    now...look at my point of view

    a glimmer of hope...a high block rate shield...yes...SE is actually going to do something right for once....i reach for it....but wait...it moves further away...i reach for it again...it moves again....i cant reach it...it is out of my grasp.
    (Cough) Canopus Shield is the best shield in-game so far. You're welcome for the correction. Good day.

    btw, the [item=4100202]Vintage Kite Shield[/item] has a Block value of 120, and a Block Rate of 92. Not the other way around. Learn to read.
