Nope. They're both with bad PABs, both are in need of a replacement.
And as I said already somewhere else about another type of equipment, you do not change a non-endgame equip type with another non-endgame equip type.
Your one has 38.45-38.46 base block already. You'll change it for a similar one but with SDE, when you'll get the chance.

Or at least SDA.
After lvl 400 having a shield missing either STR or DEX is a deal breaker.
QUOTE(End Of All Hope @ Oct 20 2017, 12:27)

SDA is just another blasphemy of a shield (IMG:[

QUOTE(Scremaz @ Oct 20 2017, 12:41)

personally i think also END has its role. i'd say both SDA and DEA are one step lower than SDE, but still slightly better than SEA.
QUOTE(Sapo84 @ Oct 20 2017, 13:15)

Last time I used 1H I did 97 round PFUDOR IW without haste and never had to cure.
It's nice for lower level players, but past a certain post END is not very helpful (STR pab for example adds ~100 damage by itself, which is pretty fucking good)
QUOTE(Scremaz @ Oct 20 2017, 13:26)

eh? is Haste needed? (IMG:[

but at the same time people is eager to purchase VV perk and earn Jug on their armors. at my level a mid-forged, mid-range END roll on the shield is enough to give me 1.5k HP out of a 28.7k pool. pretty much the same effect of VV perk. or, uh... don't know how many Jug levels (IMG:[

When I was level ~350 I needed haste for PFUDOR IW, otherwise I was sparking too often.
When you're starting everything helps, and VV and added endurance are very very good.
Past a certain point they are only useful for PFUDORFest.
Jug on armors is chosen because everything else sucks.
This is easily seen in the usual high-level 1H players stats distribution, everything on STR and DEX with END lower and everything else 100+ levels or so behind.

The best PABs on a shield are (from best to worst):
Str Dex End
Str Dex Agi
Str End Agi
Dex End Agi
like this?
QUOTE(f4tal @ Oct 20 2017, 15:25)

Yes, pretty much (IMG:[

STR > DEX >> END >>> AGI.
Between STR and DEX is tough call, because DEX can increase your crit chance and parry, which are good; STR, on other hand, gives pure power only.
QUOTE(Scremaz @ Oct 20 2017, 15:25)

while first and last position are a due (respectively SDE and SEA), the other two depend a bit on personal tastes as well. for example, i value DEA slightly higher than SDA. sapo above, the opposite.
only consensuous around is that a shield without DEX isn't very appetible. even Peerlesses can sell for very cheap if have such limitation.
Price check or Equipment comparison discussion? (IMG:[
