Sheilds with no Parry.

Othello · 18th October 2007, 08:59 PM

This may be an easy question but does anyone know if Sheilds hurt you if you don't have any parry or 80dex??
The reason I ask is because I have a Sheild of Invulnerability and an Arcane Sheild that I use to add to my DCI and Reflect physical damage, not for parry. With all the changes along the way, it is hard keeping up at times. I have Wrestling and want to max out my DCI, and the shield helps alot.

They sure dont help, but I am unaware of a penalty. A quick google search tends to support that.

As long as I still get the DCI and Reflect Physical Damage bonus then I am happy. Thanks for the reply

Absolutely nothing against what you're doing, using the shield only for its properties...

but that's exactly why I hate item properties in UO...
(except for resistances, resistances are ok)

with all the item properties even though it is sometimes over the top it keeps everyone on a even keel
