That's kind of a problem with all the shields, isn't it? It becomes particularly noticeable if you're going for an outfit combination that isn't ENTIRELY RED because pretty much everything late-tier is red...

Here I am, with my blue self, being forced to use a Wyvern Shield out of sense of style, and suffering for it because wyvern shields are absolutely rubbish. At least in the T1 and T2 dungeons. Attacks start doing pure non-normal damage in T3, don't they? I look forward to that, 'cause if an attack does even A LITTLE BIT of normal, it breaks Wyvern Shields in two hits. -.-
