Which Shield to Use When? Or recube it?

I know there have been similar threads made lately, but I'm not sure I really understand the answers that were given in them. So here's my dilemma: I have 3 shields which are mostly clean iirc:

1. VIP mage shield: clean, legendary potential: 21% magic attack; rare additional potential: 12 magic attack; no neb

2. 3rd UWG mage shield: 8 slots, 3 magic attack, hammered twice, legendary potential: 65%, 9% int; rare additional potential: 3% total damage ; 15% ignore def neb

3. 3rd UWG mage shield, clean, legendary potential: 50% bossing, 6% all stat; epic additional potential: 6% magic attack; no neb

I think the first one is the most suitable for non-bossing/grinding but not sure. The bigger question is which one is better for bossing and what steps I should be taking next.

With shield #1: I have about 225k buffed range, 51% bossing, 91% Ignore Def

With shield #2: I have about 195k buffed range, 51% bossing, ~170% Ignore Def

With shield #3: I have about 205k buffed range, 101% bossing, ~91% Ignore Def

Thanks for the help~

If you want to sell two and keep one, I would stick with the 3rd.
If you plan on keeping them all, then use the 1st for training/non-bosses/whatever, the 2nd for bosses with massive PDR (Empress, Hard Hilla, CPB, etc.), and the 3rd for every other boss.

:f6: Seems like a good plan. Thanks. I'll probably keep all 3.

And if you want to scroll only 1 I would say scroll the 2nd. You'll probably probably hit cap on any low defense boss with Mist Eruption.

200k range isn't anywhere enough to hit cap, even with TaC at the end of Infinity.

Oh whoops I didn't notice that his range was listed xp

Yep. lol. I don't have Bleve-like range (yet)
