Do I absolutely need a Sarnak Battle Shield as a Paladin?
I'm lv10 at the moment and I'm using Clay Guardian shield right now, 25AC 50HP, it's the best I have at the moment for my paladin. People are telling me to get one if I can, which I cannot because my funds are depleted.
Generally I 2h whenever I'm in a group, but for soloing/tanking,I was wondering if this is good enough to hold me into my 40's or 50's, or if I need to get my hands on a Sarnak Battle Shield ASAP. My weapons are Sword of the Morning, Ghoulbane, and Soulfire. | ||

Clay Guardian Shield is fine for a long while. The resists are nice, but if you are without funds you can invest in other pieces that will provide a bigger boost.

But if you say the Clay Guardian shield will work fine, I'm happy with it. I'm absolutely broke right now and all funds that I earn from 10-46 are going towards a Book of Scale. | |||

If you're going for the epic, don't bother with the sarnak shield. If you have the epic, using a 1H will feel like a downer anyway. A shield won't give you THAT much more AC, you can bash with the epic, and any kunark-era 1H will be very much less damage output.

Soulfire is distinctly inferior to a sword of the morning plus a clay guardian shield. Soulfire has a ratio of 23/45. That's worse than the Morning's 16/27 so the Soulfire is both less durability and less damage, too, plus losing bash. You may opt to use it anyway just for the look, but it isn't a very good weapon in Kunark in terms of raw effectiveness.
If you primarily group nobody will care how much damage you do so the Soulfire will do fine in that situation. If you try to solo to 60 you'll die of old age before you get there so it's probably a moot point. Danth | ||

Clay Guardian Shield has good hp for your level, and if you MUST have a shield with resist for those nasty caster mobs, id just buy a Crested Mistmoore Shield - 10 SVM, 10 SVP, 10 SVD....

Question about the Fiery Defender Epic: It has 15AC on it. Does this mean it doubles as a shield and allows you to get past the AC cap?
