Hi guys,

This will become a poll for the best shield. But first I want nominations for the top 4 shields.

Put your nomination in red please.

Elite Cav Shield

Brown Lion Heater Shield

Fast, low difficulty requirement, 1 slot, good hp, looms up to 99 speed.

[Froto_the_Loc]

A broad question. It all depends on one's play style and opinions.

Steel Buckler

The five difficulty one.
It's fast, strong, and awesome when you catch arrows in it.

[Cyclopsided]

Huscarl shield
Covers your entire body, etc, etc.

[Dravic]

Do not use nominations from posts.

Put as many nominations as you can, I think it is unlimited.

My nomination is:

Steel Shield

[Digglez]

heavy round by a long shot.  faster than huscarl and nearly as strong but only takes up 1 slot.  Other shields dont offer as much coverage so good archers/ranged can shoot weak spots in the heater/kite series and kill you while ur shield is up.

other shields like board/steel are too heavy & slow, so you'll just end up being flanked and killed while you turtle up

[Shaksie]

Huscarl, plate covered round, knightly heater.

[PanPan]

Elite Cavalry Shield is my fav one too.

Without almost no competition: Knightly Heater Shield
- is fast
- low weight
- ok cover

PS: If the balance team would like to do something useful finally they could start
to make the 70% of not used shields more useful. There are to few high-tier fast shields.
You could do a lot of joy if you rework some of the shields noone uses to high tier fast ones.

Knightly Heater Shield is a great shield when unloomed, but I think the Brown Lion Heater Shield takes the cake when fully loomed.  The Knightly Heater Shield goes over 100 shield skill when loomed, which is a waste.  Brown Lion Heater on the other hand gets right up to 99 speed so it is essentially as fast, with a lot more hp and a reasonable amount of armor to make it last.

At the expense of being ugly as hell.

Yeah that shield has the best stats but its hideous.  I would like a heraldic version with similar stats.  All the other 3 shield skill shields that are heraldic are not nearly as good besides the round shield, and you can't use that on horseback.  The widest heraldic horseback shield with 3 skill is the heater I believe which isn't very wide at all compared to all the ugly ones.

I think the best is the heavy round defense-wise, followed by knightly heater/huscarl. I think the heaters provide better offense at the expense of more vulnerability, but it's still pretty decent coverage-wise.

I also agree with the knightly heater vs brown lion loomed. You just don't find too many loomed shields very often, though. (Since it's easy enough to just pick one off the ground once your previous one breaks).

I like plate covered round shield
