Paladins Defense without Shield Mastery

Hey pallies (: Without a shield and shield mastery, approximately how much defense would you have left? If any of you guys cap your defense without mastery, how did you do it?

@ItsGG:
As of right now I have about between 100-110% Str.
So that helps a lot too.

@SilverBladez : HA! Another two handed pally! Glad to see more of us! Haha thanks man.
The empress set.. I see. Well, I guess I'll have to be collecting empress equips! That's true though, I think Achilles/Divine shield are our main defensive skills. And I couldn't care less about damage.. It just doesn't really appeal to me. Having high damage will ultimately... what does it do? Boss/grind/? It's so robotic. To me, I find it senseless to have ridiculous damage.
But then again, nice to meet a fellow 2H pally. I was beginning to wonder if there were any out there..
Btw, how much %str do you have? Cuz I do know for a fact that str gives you defense.

Bwhaha I like you man.
You'd sacrifice skills for looking epic. Nice job.

Like someone above me said, I have about 8k def without a shield.
Getting just the empress set alone already helps you massivly for starters, and second
I have two pendant slots with a Rising sun/HTP. Those two give quite a lot of defense aswell.

Those two combined will give you a ton of def already.
Not to mention achilles/divine shield will be good enough for you to survive really.
Those are the main skills that make us ''unkillable''. And we wont lose those when using a two handed weapon.

But then again... if you're more into damage and like blocking and whatever, I do recommend a sword and shield.

Haha thanks Poetry! You're always so helpful in all my threads ^-^ Well as of right now, I'm concentrating more on the return of PVP. I find bossing/grinding a little too overwhelming and expensive. But being a 2H user, I wast just curious if I could still cap my defense w/o potential and a shield. But according to what you just stated, it seems that the bulk of the defense comes from potentials o:
