October 26, 20169 yr Oh right, you were considering the Larder Door. Yeah, it sucks. Not only because of the accuracy penalty of large shields but also because, counter intuitively, bashing shields actually reduce your DPS compared to using a one-hander with a non-bashing shield (Badgradr and Dragon Maw are different because they have useful on hit effects).
October 26, 20169 yr Author Yeah...still don't understand why Maw was meant for barbarians... bah... - There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary code, and those who don't. -
October 26, 20169 yr Well there's the question about whether class limiting soulbounds should have happened at all, but given it did I suppose you could argue that Dragon's Maw is kind of barbaric. I mean it's a dragon's face on a shield which apparently bits it's enemies and breaths fire.
October 26, 20169 yr Author I see, BUT... I'm kind of a traditional guy, who likes shields on paladins. Not having particularly awesome shields is the reason I'm going 2h... - There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary code, and those who don't. -
October 26, 20169 yr There are good shields in all categories. Is it just their looks you don't like?
October 26, 20169 yr Author The bucklers are just tiny little frisbees... The other bigger ones just make you clumsy with everything you make... Dunno... maybe I'd like 'em... Badgradr is cool... but comes late afaik... - There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary code, and those who don't. -
October 27, 20169 yr Well Ilfan Byrngar's Solace is perfectly good and is available fairly early (floors 1 and 2 of Endless Paths are fairly easy, 3 is tough, 4 is probably easier than 3 but with a few really annoying enemies, and 5 is, in my opinion, easier than 3 and 5, so depending on your patience for reloading you could get it very early). As for Badgradr's Baricade, it's in WM1 which, depending on your path through the game, isn't that late at all. I usually have loads of content left after completing WM1. I can understand not liking the look of small shields for your particular character by the way. They look for for duelist type characters but not so much for more classic medieval type fighters.
October 27, 20169 yr You can get Badgradr pretty early if you go to WM soon after it is possible & don't run around doing a ton of side quests first. You can pick it up during the WM 1 main quest. Level 8 or so perhaps?
October 27, 20169 yr Author Uhm ok, I thought it was way after 8th level.. 8th is fine I think... As for the drake in Od Nua... I got there level 5 and we all died, the first time... - There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary code, and those who don't. -
October 27, 20169 yr Uhm ok, I thought it was way after 8th level.. 8th is fine I think... As for the drake in Od Nua... I got there level 5 and we all died, the first time... Huh, I'm surprised you managed to do the ogre level if you struggled with the drake. I suspect with a few more tries you'd have been able to beat him.

October 27, 20169 yr It's true what you say, no ogres. Just jumped down the pit Ah okay. Yeah, don't jump down the pit. It is not wise.
