in my opinion, you will need both.
Dragon shield is the one you will use against mainly melee fighters, as it increases your hit and allows you to shield for when they get to you. Tower when you will face mainly shooters, it will keep your bows alive longer to counter-hit.
As of the specific of tournaments, probably you will want the tower shield, since they have a lot of shooters in there. Although you'll try to always have some troops close to the entrances of ST to avoid them shooting, at some point one arrow or two will get to you, and that's where those +1 and +5% defense come in handy. |
for guyb:
It is a good argument but in case of CG you will not know who is your opponent except if the player(s) dont mind to show his / her name |
PRICE IS IMPORTANT BUT NOT ALWAYS
You're missing the point. Let me repeat: Dragon shield, because it's cheaper. |
This is ofc generalisation since you need a very specific case to say what is best
Dragon shield is better in ST and in CG against Chaos build
Tower is better in most CG, so that would be my pick there against a random opponent |
| isnt there any one else would like to do this favor and share his/her experience and opinion ? |
Dragon Shield is better for most PVE, except hunting ranged creatures.
For PVP:
Dragon shield is better when facing wizard, dark elves, demons
Tower Shield is better when facing elves, knights
They are even against barbarians, necromancers
Over all, I'd say Dragon Shield has more uses than Tower Shield.
Tower Shield is more of a situational item. Whereas Dragon Shield has more common uses. |
Dragon shield, because it's cheaper
It depends on how you look at the price of it.
Dragon Shield is 142.5 per battle.
Tower Shield is 144.8 per battle.
So, Dragon Shield is cheaper per battle.
However, is we figure in the AP...
Dragon Shield is 28.5 per battle per AP.
Tower Shield is 24.1 per battle per AP.
So, per battle, per AP, Tower Shield is actually cheaper. |
| I use dragon shield because +1 attack is more appealing then def because in ST's, you need to DEAL damage not absorb it :) at least that is what i do and i have won quite a few tournies.... |
| in low lvs i always used the dragon shield instead the tower shield. Simply because the +1 attack. |
very well
thanks a lot all of you for attention and share your opinion and experience
with best Regards :) |
| As a chaos wizzy, I prefer Tower Shield instead of Dragon Shield. |
| For Flour: your AP calculation is pointless for these shields. They are hardly ever part of a minimum AP combination, where AP matters. |
