Mr Eternia: Need Help with basic slotting for Shield Defense ??

[smnolimits41]

As the title says, i'm just looking for how to slot Shield Defense, i've never played the set before.  Any help is appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

My favorite is Shield/War Mace.  Here's Mace to the Face:

I also made a Shield/DM, for the harder content (less damage but tankier), with many of the same philosophies as MTTF:

Hope that helps!

Are you looking for an IO set build or straight SO/commons slotting? Also, what's your secondary?

[NinjaSquirrel]

This is my current main.  Lot's of recharge and lots of procs.  Soul Drain -> shield charge -> shadow maul.  Siphon life might not be as optimal as gloom but really helps to keep the HP up during the tough spots.  Owts for especially rough spots, nearly maxes HP.  Ageless radial for the debuff resistance.  Dark consumption and conserve power to handle what ageless radial can't.

 

Oh, single target..  Smite, siphon life, smite, midnight grasp,  repeat
