Scars of Velious
Ya know i'm 65 SK, been playing long time, killin CT, Seru, Ssra, all that jaz, and I have this, and i STILL carry around a complete set of resist gear just incase the occaision arrises. Nothing wrong with +50 CR, in fact aside from a bard song or buff, i believe this is the highest cold resist item in the game. Nothing wrong with being prepared

Stop comparing content that was several years ago to content today. Other than the shields from PoS and VT, what other good shields were there at the time?
sarnak battle shield is as good as this except in those few occasions when you are fighting a cold aoeing mob where the aoe isn't unresistable, and you aren't grouped with a bard.

Let's all be honest with ourselves, for the size of the raid, and the time it takes to clear and pull the Dain alone, this item is not worth the trouble.
Compare 50 CR which is useless post 55 (spells/songs to raise resists above 250) with having more varied resists (fire, Poison, etc.) And better stats all around.
If this IS an upgrade for anyone on the raid, more power to them, grats, but overall this item will generally rot.

It looks the same as a Velium Round Shield. It's round and made of ice, transparent with some kind of insignia in the middle.

do you have any clue how amazing 50CR is on any item? good lord...
I agree that +50CR is unreal, but this would sit in the bank until those uncommon occasions where you know you will need Cold Resistance.
Wish I had one. Wish I could use one (wrong class for me). But I doubt it would be used very often.
I'd have they'd give it better slots than a type 1.

I heard someone say last night that he consed even at 65.
actually that's just a relative level based on how tough he is. he may be only a lvl 63 con, but nobody can really be sure=)
no, he is actually 70. The actual levels have been discovered via SEQ

Take what you wish but I wouldn't mind it for my cleric as I get pounded by ice spells in certain zones later in the game. Opinions vary though.
As a cleric. Sheesh people - you act like clerics get everything? Well.. lets consider - i cast and heal a tank - mob turns on me - and slices me dead - guess what - tank dies anyway.
AC 25, and +8 wis both make it a great shield for clerics - its better than what i carry in my off-hand at level 52...
There might be better items out there - but most clerics i know don't have them...
Garon waves his Testament of V. and his Paw of O. that he's carried around for 30 levels.

I want an "Aegis of Lice" with 50sv diesease ;).
I hate to point this out, but this isn't exactly worth the effort of killing the Dain. It's a CGS plus. Only worthwhile because of the cold resist.
While useful on a gorenaire raid, I can't picture people scrambling to get this thing.

As a cleric I wouldn;t even roll on this item. Vek the Sorc drops a similat shield, think one cleric and a palidin wanted. Personally think they just rolled to say they won it. Don;t get me wrong this is a nice item, just don;t think it is anything overly special. Oh btw palidins don;t even get kick, neither do SK. Kick=warrior, monk, ranger.

You're highly unlikely to see this on anyone except when they are breaking out the cold resist gear.:\

Posted: Sep 25 2001 at 7:31 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) your gay you know that? no paladin or SK uses 2hand slashing anymore, not since SK got a 26/25 1hs and paladins got a 25/25 1hs. That with bash dmg is more dmg and taunt.

uh, maybe you should look around your server a little more, I know on xev almost every pally 40+ is using piercing or 2hs

As a 47 Paladin, I use my 2hs Ornate Runed Blade for dmg, and when I pull a shaman(In Solb) I bust out my Sword of Skyfire + Slithias Shield for bashing. Hopefully at 49 when I get Holy Might, I wont have to do this as my 2 stuns should repop fast enough.
Actually, the smart Paladins and Shadow Knights keep ALL their weapon skills maxxed so they can effectively wield any weapon that may drop for them in the future.

well I'm a paladin 48 paladin on the Cazic Thule server and most paladins around my level use a sword and shield... kinda hard to stop a spell from being casted if the mob resists your stuns.

Posted: Sep 26 2001 at 3:19 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) at level 55 your kicks act like bash and will stun/interupt spell casters
3 posts
Only a Warriors kick acts as a stun 55+.
But kick still caps lower than bash, so most still carry a shield for stopping spellcasters.

Yep, but it still will go to Clerics sometimes. Not because other classes can't use it, and not because they don't have better options but mainly because keeping Clerics happy is a full time job =)
