Best shield for range?

Featured Replies

So finally after 5 days of endless boring grinding I finally got my full void *yeay*, but now i was thinking what shield should I use?

 

 

 

Someone told me the obsidian shield is pretty good def, but I saw it gives -8 range.

 

 

 

Right now i'm using anti-dragon shield. What do you guys think I should use?

Tanking spirit sheilds (blessed is damn good for the money) or normal shields (rune kite, obby/granite shield, DFS, etc)

I prefer the spirit shields (no negative attack bonus :thumbsup: ), the normal is only 100k and the blessed spirit shield is one of the better shields in game (except if you can afford divine/elysian spirit shields ;) )...

This here is best. I never used the spirit shields as i haven't done the quest. But not adding a negative to range is nice. DFS is good since you're going to be in void and need higher defense. I just don't know how defensive the Spirit Shield is.

range attack - unholy book

 

 

 

range defence - full crystal shield (need to pay to be recharged) or D.F.S (doesn't need recharging, unless you use its spec, then you need to attack a dragon with it equiped)

 

 

 

:thumbsup:

IM GOING TO LIVE FOREVER .......... or die trying

No godbooks give negative ranged bonus, and I'm pretty sure the same goes for Spirit Shields.

 

 

 

Best offensively would be the unholy book.

 

 

 

Best defensively would be any of the spirit shields. Sigil shields cost a lot, but a normal blessed spirit shield only costs 2m. That's a lot cheaper than the DFS, and it doesn't give a negative ranged bonus the DFS does. All you sacrifice is a tiny bit of defense.

Dragon square shield has no negative range attack, unlike DFS. Use an unholy book if you're safespotting stuff though.

i would say dfs since i have one if you can get one use it
