Finally capped shield after 2 years of playing Pld non-stop. Back when I was 75 and Shield was 240 (victim of old shield nerfing), it was pretty worthless. But in the 260 range I noticed it blocking quite often.
Now it's time to tack on the +Shield Equiment and Merits.

Wow awesome Bridger! Grats Does shield help at all in Sky, Dynamis, Limbus? Just curious how much it kicks ass ^^ Ummm my only accomplishment along the long lines of skill is fully merited elemental magic... I look forward to trying to cap evasion and parrying on NIN. Ok, your right, I don't look forward to it

shield only helps when capped, cuz once capped your +shield gear matters
shield torque +7 skill, koenig head +5 skill, boxer mantle +10 skil, af1 boots +10 skill/ af1 +1 boots +12skill.
So can get +32-34 skill just from what i wear, with 276 cap and gear i can get mne to about 308-310, which is more then enough, shield is nice in dyanmis when capped, and on bigger HNM like Fafnir

Actually I notice it activates quite often in Dynamis/Sky. It blocks from 50-80% with the Koenig Shield. Honestly it's on par if not greater than reducing damage than the Earth Staff. On top of that, with a Sword and Shield, the +4 Emnity I get from the Koenig Shield and Durandal REALLY make a difference.
At lower skill however, it doesn't do shit lol.

Very nice. I was really interested in seeing the effect on capped shield. I've noticed, both leveling PLD pre and post patch, that my skill catches up much, much quicker with the 'new' adjustments to shield blocking and shield. It must have sucked trying to recap it since you were already 75, but at least new Paladins will be saved some of the grief.
