Ornate shield vs Shield of corruption

[Eduemu123]

Which one do you guys prefer? Im not sure on which to use.

[Vand Woodstock]

Ornate Shield: blocking for a sio, blocking for a team, using on hunts which the monsters do heavy physical attack, such as dark torturers, juggernauts and frazzle/guzzlemaws

Shield of Corruption: preffer to use in solo hunts, like hunting hydras / sea serpents / yelothax / dragon lords / frost dragons, etc

[Poldek]

I think ornate shield would be better, because you get less hits = less money for healing

[Ameriov]

Vand Woodstock kinda explained everything.

Long story short:
Ornate: Many mobs dealing huge physical dmg
SoC: Few mobs with average physical dmg (more dmg from element attacks than physical)

[Saentiel]

i thin nova days everyone focus about defence so meaby ornate shield vs prismatic shield?

SoC for the looks (',)

[Zozoh]

Use Shield of corruption if you use sword. The answer is pretty clear here

[Luminis]

I would use the SoC only as a decorative object jeje

[Poldek]

I think another advantage for ornate shield is a price. SoC is much more expensive than an ornate.

I thought the same, but i think ornate is better because of the % physical protection that it gives.


Topic: How much does a SoC cost , in general? I don't trust wikia in prices
