The shields that sell the most are SDE, followed by DEA.

The stats to look for on a shield are simply Block then STR and DEX, right?

block for sure. DEX too. then probably i'd say END - better be a little tankier than a tiny bit stronger. dead men tell no tales.
afterall 82 END (read: a mid-forged decent L roll) means 1.4k HP, comparable to VV perk.

I guess it's different when the player doesn't have maxed trainings and perks.

I would rather have +1 ADB than go from 30000 HP to 31400 HP >.>

Probably the best Buckler of the Barrier I have seen is this: Legendary Mithril Buckler of the Barrier.

It was sold for 3.7M on Issarys 7th Auction, I wish I had been closer to level 400 then, I would have bid on it.

My current Legendary Reinforced Buckler of the Barrier is not too bad either, good enough for me.

Still haven't seen a Peerless Buckler of the Barrier, but the base block must be very close to 37.2%.

I'm not saying it's useless. It's pointless to say END > AGI in the 1H style.
It's so defensive as it is that it can clear GF with minimal effort...

For 1H attack speed decreases the amount of counters and OC you get, so it ends up a bit slower (don't remember the actual time of haste vs not-haste, but usually not-haste is visibly faster).
Because of that AGI is actually useless for 1H.

I think this is the highest block chance shield dropped;

That's some logic that makes sense. I'm not sure it's enough to totally ignore shields without END on them, though.

Whoa, it actually goes over 37.2% (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Now I really want to see a Peerless one. When are shields coming to Lottery? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

I guess some light-armor users prefer SDA to SDE as AGI increase an attack speed and evasion.

And, Mithril is an absolutely useless prefix.

That's some logic that makes sense. I'm not sure it's enough to totally ignore shields without END on them, though.

Considering that nowadays shields cost nothing I see no reason not go for the best.

A buckler of the barrier with 37+ block and SDE shouldn't go for more than 2-3M.

Only force shields with near PMax block + SDE actually sell for more than 5M.

I guess some light-armor users prefer SDA to SDE as AGI increase an attack speed and evasion.

If someone is doing 1H with light-armor is probably not interested in min-maxing so it's kind of a moot point.

All shields are lovely.

And honestly, I don't even want one. I just wanted to try out an updated buckler of barrier with 1H mage style.

Piyin's was the first one I came across in the Lrange, yet ppp82p seems to think I made an incredibly foolish choice in my purchase.

Then you don't need STR (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

I don't THINK. That guy sells trash at astronomical prices (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/heh.gif)

You want DEA then, since strength is doing nothing for 1h mages (outside of increasing a bit OFC damage I guess).

I still have a buckler of nimble around for 1H mage if I will ever find the time to grind elemental prof.

That's what this is about.. you just don't like that piyin guy.

If I were to min/max 1H mage, I would go DEA.
But.. is there really a point in polishing a turd of a style?
