I have been sawing the Spiral Knights Wikipedia and i never had saw Shock sjiel with 5* or anything elese (without counting owlite shields) i realy want there to be Shock shield like called 2*Shock Shield 3*Lightning Shield 4*Volt Shield 5* Mercurial shield plssss post me to see youre answer
Shock Shields
I think what he wants is a shock-only shield that is viable for T3; something like the Ironmight Plate Shield for Stun or the Heater Shield for Freeze.
That being said, you're still better off with Owlite, Crest of Almire etc.
Well, personally I don't really see a need for another shock-only shield, given that those which defend against only one status are hardly used - honestly I haven't even heard of the Ironmight, nor seen anyone wielding one, when going into the Clockworks with randoms. Given that Grey Owl or Crest already gives max resistance to shock, there really isn't a great need to make a shock-only shield, unless it gives some pretty good defences.
Of course, if you can flesh out a concrete idea for a shield with stats and everything, I would hear it out.
@Demonicsothe: Don't forget Voltails.
What about poison and curse, lol.
Status resists on a shield are not that great either. The only tme where i'd want such resists and notice the difference would be against zombie's beath.
Actually I find an Owlite more viable for FSC than a Blackened Crest due to Fire Resistance. Blackened Crests break very quickly when standing on shadow fire.
Of course..when you upgrade to Crest of Almire...it's way better than an Owlite.

i kinda do want a mercurial shield... but mainly for the MSI :p
Unless they actually increase the MSI value of both the 5* mercurial sets
Are you mad! We need shock shields, because they are very powerful. look at the Grey Owlite Shield. If it wasn't for the shock in it, it wouldn't be so powerful!
I'm still searching for that Grew Owlite Shield you're talking about - strangely I can't find anything. Oh well.
Seriously though, I'm not against the idea of a shield resisting shock. I'm just not too sure there's a point in making a shield devoted only to defending against shock - similar to the Heater Shield for Freeze.
If its this then why there is Heater and Ironmight plate shield why there dont be a shock resisting shield

Russian? Some sort of east europe language? must have translation.
This is not Russian. You don't need to know what is it. Look Demonicsothe, you disagree with every thing that seems bad or hard to make.So, if you are a good person you will understand me and stop writing such things. I know Lightning-Maker loves lightnings and you don't but don't be such a pessimistic person.
He doesn't disagree with everything that seems bad or hard to make. What he is saying is that there are already shields that provide shock resistance, besides owlite, which is the CoA.
I do like the idea of a shock shield, but the idea in general is quite badly fleshed out. You have given names for the shield but virtually nothing else. Does it protect against normal? Elemental? Shadow?
I think you are unclear on how defenses work. If a shield which defends purely against shock damage, you might as well not have a shield at all, or at least have a shield with a very niche use.
FYI, there already is a shock shield.

Sadly it only goes to 3*, so oh well. Maximum shock resistance and looks pretty cool, too.
PS: As far as I can tell, its Slovenian. Something about people.
ya it will be just like the surge breaaker shield but it will look like mercurial helm and it will have shock ad elemental defense max and
A reskinned owlite shield, you mean?
Actually, a Quicksilver alchemy path to the Jelly Shield doesn't sound too bad of an idea.
There's already an Elemental resisting and Shadow resisting "shock shields." A Quicksilver shield would only complete it the trio, really, and would match along with the Quicksilver line.
Now that we've had a more reasonable form of the suggestion, I support it. Plus one.
THX alphastevo ( huh in tghe end there is a knight who agrees with me)
The problem was mostly the fact that ya didn't quite communicate your idea correctly. Saying that there should be more shock shields seems like a useless idea, but saying that there should be a Piercing shield that resists shock, possibly styled after the Quicksilver line, sounds like a much more attractive idea.
I suggest editin' the original post to express the idea. Something like:
"We have the Crest of Almire, a Shadow shield that resists shock. We have the Grey Owlite Shield, an Elemental shield that resist shock. But what about those who are in need of a Piercing shield to help them against Quicksilvers and Voltails?
To that, I give to you, the Quicksilver Shield! A shield that matches the Quicksilver line, it resists shock, AND gives the piercing defense that one desires!"
Maybe make the shield give MSI low so that we can have more passive buffing shields.
OK i agreee Alphastevo but i need more ppl who agrees with me but i agree with you and i agree to be almost the sam like the quicksilver and this shield to be selling for 20 bark module and with these names 3*Quicksilver Shield 4* Charged Quicksilver shield 5* Mercurial Shield (and why not this will be cool REALY cool)
@Lightning-Maker
My idea was moreso to make it a variation from the Jelly Shield line. At the moment, the line only has one alchemy line in it: as in, it leads up to the Royal jelly shield. The Quicksilver Shield, however, will give a more extended family to the line. I'll probably sprite up what I think the line would look like whenever I can.
And let's be honest, the Roarmulus twins have a LOT of token items as is. As someone who's aiming to get every item in the game, including every stage from EVERY alchemy line (that I can handle), that's gonna be an even bigger problem for me.
However i wanted to be more like lets say thequicksilver helm i tought to be the same and with the sam alchemy line but this time to be a shield something like thje quicksliver helm with lightningsall over it
Well, the way I see it, it could be similar to the Snarbolax set.
The set is kinda branched out upon several alchemy paths. The weapons themselves, which I'll consider one set, and the Wolver line. Similar to this, the Quicksilver set will give some variation to the Jelly line.
That, and I've never heard of OOO adding in new boss token rewards, which I presume would get kinda annoying.
UM yes ok but this forum i post it for shock sjield not for jelly shield or somthing like it
Youve been posting alot of things about shock. Well let me tell you something.
I am a knight who uses shock type weapons and sticks with the wolver series
A shield with a primary type and thats only shock? Would you rather stick with shock + fire, which can protect you from both or just a shock shield and won't protect you from fire?
Well I like your shock suggestions which would complete my shock type weapons collections.
@Benightz, What the [FIRETRUCK] dude? this thread is nearly half a year old! If you wanted to criticize him, you should have done that in your own little head.
@Oatmonster No..
Somebody brought me here, and I would like to rate it
It doesn't matter if someone directed you here, this thread was done and gone. Necroing a horrible thread only brings attention back to it.
"Someone linked it so I wanted to bump it again."
Do you want to be the next Blandaxt?
Owlite for elemental and shock
Crest of almire for shadow and shock
Pierce shock isn't all too common, shock polyps and quicksilvers
