Best Shield For Halberdier - korey - 01-10-2015

Hello NI community,

I know this will probably get harshly judged, but I like playing my halberdier with a shield and CTS. My plan is eventually to upgrade to Very Heavy Throwing axes so I can alternate better between throwing and fighting with a shield and a 1 hander.

Yes, I know this probably isn't a good strategy, and to be frank, I actually don't care, because I enjoy it.

What I'm looking for is information on Shields, I can't seem to find anything in the forum about shields that a halbedier can loadout with.

I am currently using the Knightly Kite shield from the marketplace, but I'm curious if this is any after market shield that I can bring in.


thanks in advance for the info!

Basically.  There might be a slightly better marketplace one, but there is no good shield that halberdier can bring in.

The best one I can find is a knightly heater shield from the marketplace.

hmm, thats too bad, Knightly Heater doesn't hold up too well on Hard. I was kind of hoping there was something to work towards. I thought it was so cool that I had 7 shielding! hahaha I was hoping I'd unlock Swadian Kite shield or something.

If you enjoy that role, and want to upgrade the shielding aspect, legionnaire would probably be a more suitable class. You'd do more damage when using the VHTA as a melee weapon and would be able to get some very good shields: eg. Royal Shield/Swadian Resilience/Small Dragon Kite-lots of good shields-which can be bought as cheaply as 1.5 mil as well as having good shield skill to use with them (8( I'm not sure about the Halberdier shield skill but I think it is a couple of points lower than this?)) The two drawbacks are that you will do slightly less throwing damage and won't be able to run as fast, but unless speed is completely essential for you to enjoy this role then legionnaire is the way to go.
