Secondary Equip vs Shield for Mages

Ok so I am wondering what better for my BaM: a timeless prelude shield scrolled (level 120 shield +5 int 60 wep df and 110 m def) or a Maximizer ball (level 100 secondary +10 int +10 luk 3 m.atk and whatever pot I can get on it)

Shields are better since you can use them for almost any mage class if you get bored of one and want to main another.

@YoPurple: nah, i wasn't trying to start anything, i just tend to answer in the same tone that i'm quoting.

but yea, a shield is miles better since it can be scrolled for more attk/m.attk, and has the same potentials as a ball, but the shield can be traded to all your other mages.

[quote=YoPurple]Do you want the little bit of def the sheild gives you? Or the increase in range that the ball would give you?

Its obvious which one is better lol...[/quote]

The shields are able to have far more matk and int. 27 matk on mines.

Shields are better, but more costly. They can get the same potential lines as a secondary weapon now, plus they have slots, meaning you can scroll them for atk / m.atk.

The scroll for shields for magic attack are pretty rare lately.

Shields if u have the money, second weapons if you dont. Shields also have better resale value.

So secondaries are the better bang for your buck but shields are better but really expensive?
