Dragon Khanjars are better for thieves because the att on it alone boost around 6~10% overall damage depending on your total att(converting to %luk bonus, say a thief with 120% luk bonus, will be around 220%*6%=13% luk) So alien shields are garbage for thieves.
A perfectly scrolled VIP mage or warrior shield will be around the same compared to perfectly scrolled maple magician/warrior shield because of the 3 extra slot. But if you're talking about perfect 12/8/8 bonus, the VIP shields win hands down, otherwise considering 12/8 and 6/4, it comes close to matching when your total weapon att/magic att is around 265 without shield with around 140% stats bonus. Since magic att is generally higher, the bar is easily reached for mages. Plus the VIP shields will save you 3 slots to scroll.
So in summary: (given end game stats 120~140% stats bonus, 250+ weapon/magic att without shield)
