But not the most powerful shield.

Yes it is, which other shield cancels 50% of hits ?

Well, Charcoal Shield grills the attackers and Aegis turn them to stone.

Yeah, but you can't Magic Resistance your way out of someone else's Luck.

Nerfix · #5 October 27th, 2006, 09:51 AM

That's true, but I'd rather use that luck amulet than the coin.

I'm just pleased that it's not easily settled which shield is the "best."

I'd be disappointed in Dominions if it were.

Of course, Curse Luck special ability cancels out luck. I just found out about this the other day, but...

Eh, if you have 4 misc slots, the luck amulet may be more attractive. Or if you can self-cast luck.

Even forgoing luck, the shield that grants 100% immunity to fire and lightning might be considered better in some circumstances.

Usually the tightest constraint is on misc items, so I prefer to have luck on either shield or sword for protection on units that aren't meant to mass kill (or at least not with their combat prowess).
Self-luck is fine except it fills a spell slot ...
Aaaahh tradeoffs...that's Dominions !

Might be just the nations I tend to play, but the misc slots aren't usualy that contested for me.
