What is the best end game Shield? Also, Crits or Pdr?
Hey All!
So I have a Blue Dragon Shield, with a +6% att bonus. Would it be worth scrolling it for Att? What would be the ideal shield to use?
Also, swords gives more critical hits while Blunt weapons give PDR. Which is the better bonus? More Crits or PDR?
Personally, I like the blunt weapon animation and hammers fit in more with the Paladin style. But, I'm willing to get over my personal taste in favour of a cheaper weapon and a bit more damage.
Thanks a bunch <3

[quote=FreeIcecream]Swords do not give more critical chance, they increase your maximum critical damage by 10%. Normally your crits do up to 1.5x damage, wearing a sword that would be 1.6x.
Paladins already got a ton of PDR so damage wise swords are stronger, but also much more expensive. Plus the sword animations are very ugly imo
The best shield currently in the game is the [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/MapleStory-item-Terminus-Defender-12719.html]Terminus Defender[/url].
It has 8 slots unhammered and is 4th tier potential (so 4% stat on rare, 7% epic, 10% unique, 13% legendary). This does work on Total Damage% and Attack%, but has no effect on the maximum Boss% line you can get.[/quote]
Everything objective in the above sums it up fairly nicely.
You can also opt to use a [url=http://www.basilmarket.com/MapleStory-item-Fearless-Kite-Shield-8839.html]Fearless Kite Shield[/url] which has the same amount of slots but a lower potential tier, allowing a maximum of 12% stat on each line.
Using a sword over a blunt weapon is much preferred. The 10% max critical damage is a much more beneficial boost than 5% Ignore DEF, as the latter is negligible once Threaten kicks in.
