this proves it. most tip.it ers are stupid.. [/hide] Not at all, he understood what this is all about, except he had trouble explaining it. So here we have a shield that on average 70 attacks out of 100, will reduce the damage received by 25%. It will take the "edge" off of an attack. Most "grinding" monsters people fight have max hits of ~15. Which means, at best, it will be 25% off of 15. It is welcome, but really nothing mindblowing. At worse, it will be 25% off of 0 or a very low number. Don't buy the shield and expect much against normal monsters. The real use is clearly PVP and boss monsters only. The thing is, the shield isn't even good at that either. The new monster is best killed with zamorakian spears. GWD is best done with godswords to rip through the bosses defences. Pvp is again largely won with godswords. The shield is very good, but the best thing you wear with it is a whip. What you can see here is a real paradox. The shield is good for pvp and boss hunting. Whips are used for grinding against normal monsters. Whips are not made for boss monsters, they aren't made for pvp. The shield and the whip disagree, the shield would rather watch WWE and the whip would rather just watch Dr house. So you have haft of the TV showing Dr house, and the other haft is showing RAW. It seems like shawn michaels is talking to cameron and you can't really figure out much of what going on. Conclusion: The shield is good, but has no suitable pvp/boss hunting 1 handed weapon to go with it. It's a damn lemon. For now, it's completely useless. "OMG LOOK AT ME I HAVE A DIVINE SHIELD! HERE I COME BOSS MONSTERS! Oh wait... snap, I have no weapon to go with it. *sob*" Well you can still use knives with it though :D BAH GAWD KING HE IS GETTING WHIPED(lol) LIKE A GOVERMENT MULE
