shield mastery

just to throw out there.

has any try to see how shield mastery works? is it only the w.def stat that gets effected? or is it an effect for all the stats on the shield?

programing wise, i'll figure an effect on shield is alot easier than effect on shield->def stat.

i now description says w.def, but we all know the written descriptions are less than reliable.

thanks

It is only w.def, not even mdef.

That would have made it godly for watk shields if Shield Mastery worked for all stats.

But it's just as Stereo said. I have max Shield Mastery for afking purposes >_>

I maxed it for the name :p figured if i wanted to call myself a passionate 1h swords user that i needed to master shield aswell

Didnt know armor crush was usefull at horntail at the time...

But "relax" / mp recovery still pwns both above stated

worthless skill, unfortunately :/

lol...thanks.

stop saying that. Defense is defense. I love my shield. it adds as much defense as my zhelm now. (then again, who else scrolled their gellerhead and didn't break it?)

I like it, and as long as you're 1h, it just might come in REAL handy.

The fact is, getting more STR, or, even more importantly, W. Att, from a shield is preferred over w. def.

I like Def too, but I would always go with attack, or even STR, over the defense. :/

no. the last time i used my gellerhead was to make cake boss do 1s on me. and i figured out that i didnt even need that, just a lvl 100 top/bottom instead of an 80 overall.
while its unbelievably amazing that you can take 1s from a big boss and not use 1 hp pot the whole 20 mins, i wouldnt try it anywhere else. crimson guards? ill take 50 more dmg to 4hko instead of 5-6. skele? himes? bains? kents? wyverns? goby? squids? elderwraiths? 50 less damage is laughable at any high level training ground. youll save more money killing them in 1 less hit.

Yeah, at 25hp+26mp per attack I save more by cutting 1 attack per monster than by wearing basically any defensive item in the game except Horntail Pendant since it's got def + stats >_>



Currently only missing high level cape+glove, because frankly the high level capes have pomegranatety stats compared to attack capes, and so do the high level warrior gloves :/ When the Maker Skill comes out, I'm planning to bust out some 8-10 atk 20 stat gloves using +5 str +3 dex +3 acc on the 100+ stuff >_>

lmao. 11/5/2 imperial woot.
20 stat gloves do 3 str instead of 3 dex? cant you use different grades of the jewels as long as you only use 1 of that grade & variety?

edit: looked at forging. im wrong. but +5s are nice =o
