18/21

6 PS
5 shield
7 ath
7 WM
1 IF

[Macropus]

Or:

15-24

5 PS
5 Shield
8 Athletics
8 Weapon master

Take warhammer or some axe and you're good.

[WITCHCRAFT]

If you are going agi shielder, you must trust your shield to protect you. Wear light body/head/leg armor and take advantage of high athletics.

15 strength
24 agility

5 power strike
8 athletics
8 shield
5 weapons master

149 wpf (1H or pole)

[Switchtense]

In my opinion you don't really need a shitload of weapon master for 1h weapons. They are fast by default so 6 is enough. Always depends on which 1h you wanna use but this should do really.

My current lvl30 build:

15/21
5PS
7 Ath
7 Shield
7 Wm

170 wpf in 1h
You can catch most archers in light armor ( I use leather jerkin) and are fast enough to get away from shieldbreaker 2h/polearmers and with a fast 1h (for example yanmaodao) you can sometimes overwhelm opponents before they know you are here. Quite durable vs ranged due to 7 shield and also good gold income

[Chosen1]

hmm.. I think I really want as much IF as I can get, is only 2 shield skill enough?

I was messing around in character planner and this is what I came up with, thoughts?

[Switchtense]

That is not a shielder. It is a swashbuckler who can grab a shield to protect himself from arrows of unskilled archers who cannot shoot your feet or head.

Certainly helps against arrows, but I would ditch the shield skill and put them in WM so you can grab an Elite Spammitar and spam the shit out of everybody.

[Grumpy_Nic]

With 2 shield you cant even approach an archer, your shield is shot to pieces in no time. At least on eu1 you need to soak a lot of ranged dmg with your shield and absolutely avoid anything with bonus vs shields. I got 7 shield and a mw elite cav shield and thats not enough in some cases.

[Chosen1]

hmm.. what about 4 IF and 3 shield?

[Switchtense]

Well there is less ranged on NA1, but you too have skilled archers. So 2 shield skill is pretty much worthless. Lasts as long as a 0 skill shield, just eats up 2 skill points.

Edit: 3 is the same really. Anything less than 6 is not good in my opinion. Also keep in mind that your shield protects you from taking damage. So Iron Flesh (hopefully) will never have to be used since you don't get hit.

Also Iron Flesh is most effective when wearing heavy armour. And as a shielder you wanna wear light/medium armour. So the few extra hit points are not much of a difference really.

[Grumpy_Nic]

If you wanna go low shield and more IF go for str shielder, as agi shielder you need more. Its the thing that you wanna be good at as agi shielder. Take several hits and your shield is still perfectly fine? Great, either support melee battles or flank them archers, if they see you coming they will fire at you and start kiting - great because you're drawing fire and your teammates can concentrate on melee instead of dodging.
See your opportunities and keep your shield up.

Really 6 shield skill is your min?

I'd say 4 is mine. I keep my main at 5 shield and with a board shield (it is mw but even before I mw'd it, it held up well) it does just fine. I don't have the shield breaking except against axes and other weapons that mess up shields.

Well it depends on how you use your shield really.

I personally am the one always charging in first whenever I have a shield. So I am taking a load of hits, thus I need more shield skill.
If you run around fighting 1v1 most of the time you indeed do not need a lot of shield skill.

As a shielder, I wouldn't perı̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̨sonally cut shield skill for iron flesh.
