I haven't seen a % shield but do you think it'd be more cost efficient/better in terms of damage if I still get an attack shield? Same goes with attack shoes.

Potential scrolls add stats and take up no slots so technically a attk shield scrolled with a potential scroll would be best. Just cause godly items aren't potential scrolled doesn't mean they are worthless if you add a potential scroll you can easily make the item even more godly but if it fails bye bye item. People need to understand once godly items start getting potential scrolled they are going to be even better. There will be lots of godly items boomed though sorry for those people.

I was planning to buy a prescrolled shield and not risk scrolling it with potential scrolls though. Would I generally fall behind in damage compared to someone with same funding that chose different stat equips?

the more STR you have, the less valuable STR is to you. Go with an ATT shield. Att equips are some of the few that aren't affected much, except weapons. Weapons go down ;/

[/quote] depends on how different potential scrolls appear to have a high success rate, but for it to be effective you will need to buy nx to miracle cube it (unless you get lucky)

[/quote] I believe they would have to get a lvl 71+ Shield and have 9% stat on it then have over 1100 to their stat for it to be better than a 21 attk shield. Then again im basing this off the thief Luk/wattk= How much luk is equivalent to 1 wattk.

[quote] miyoochionnow : 1 atk = 4 luk [/quote] lol no the higher your wattk the less luk required to equal 1 wattk which is why dexless sins start to fall off at higher level they don't have access to high attk claws and like @ Above said hes not a thief so yeah thats why i said i was basing it off our formula.

There were like at least 3 shields with these stats: 22 att, 11 str, 9def, 12mdef, 1 avoid, +11, hammered twice. They were all 60-70k, two from the same person who also had like 3 pink bean chairs for 100k each.

The reason why there are some cheap items in mts is cause of the duping thats been going on. I saw a 10 att pac for 123k nx.thats really cheap.
