Maybe can convert BTS into Pierce-Shadow and Crest of Almire into Elemental-Shadow shield
Create a Pierce-Shadow and Elemental-Shadow Shield
Regardless, I think is necesary a Pierce-Shadow and Elemental-Shadow Shield, maybe can be a fork of BTS and COA. In tier 3 most damage are specific. And these shields will be handful for Snarbolax SL and Danger Misions
lol They'll be handful huh?
I don't see any particular need for those split defenses. BTS Covers Snarbolax SL quite well, particularly because it gives an extra Sword DMG bonus.

If people can want a Radiant Silverhelm I don't see why they shouldn't want a Radiant Silvershield.
Give the Shadow/Element one Shock resist and I suppose it'd be useful for Ghost in the Machine in the same manner Drake Scale is for Compound 42. As for Pierce/Shadow, the only stratums with those mixes only have Piercing from beasts, which are so easily avoided it's not worth it in any convievable way. Maybe if we get Slime/Undead or Slime/Fiend, but until then it'd basically be a worthless shield.
You guys tend to underestimate Dragon Scale Shield. I have one, and I like to take that sucker along when I can. I take it to FSC and (it may be its stun med, though) it can tank even a Vana mace. Handy resists and surprisingly versatile.
Go look at the launch trailer on the front page, about 28 seconds in theres a guy with the shock troika. Look at his sheild.
Now visit any guild hall that has punch+vise, look at the rusty gear lying about.
Now take a good look at the patterns on the Divine Mantle.
What for, such split stuff is pretty weak. And changing already existing shields will upset those that already made them. Plus we don't have much shadow shield choices to remove COA. Plenty of piercing-normal already for BTS tho.
Dragon Scale is barely comeptent due to Compund 42, but just that: a single mission.
