So take a look at this picture about the new danger mission that will be released soon (it was posted on the SK twitter.)
Okay, yes, one of the knights is attacking a beast with a FOV, not the most optimal damage wise (being half elemental n' all) but at least he can use it on the fiends and trojans in the level.
But look, that other guy. Look at his shield!
Why would you bring that to a freezeing + pierce + shadow danger mission!?!
That is all.
The shield in the picture isn't the Darkfang Shield...
I guess its time to bring out my long forgotten Radiant Silvermaill...
