TOPIC: Giln’s redoubt Shield

Giln’s redoubt Shield 4 years 1 month ago #1

Since I wasn’t following token dev in 2017, why was the legendary redoubt shield given to Barbarians (not a heavy armor class, unlikely to wear in melee offhand due to 2H bonus ) and not the cleric (heavy armor class that is likely to have low dex and would use the shield in melee off hand)?

I looked through the 2017 final transmute images thread, but over half of it was discussing Druger’s cookie recipe and no mention of the redoubt shield...

We fought, and we fought hard, but in the end, clerics can't use Giln's for the following reasons (select as many or as few as you like):
⬜ Because Jeff
⬜ To frustrate cleric players (myself included)
⬜ To make cleric players cry (myself included)
⬜ Because reasons
⬜ Because the prophecy foretold it
⬜ Because doing so would bring about the apocalypse
Have you looked it up in the TDb ?
Please post TDb corrections in this thread .
If I write something in teal, it should not be taken seriously

Notice how none of them were in teal, Druegar meant all of them.

I think the overall design was to have it so that only Paladins and Fighters could wear the complete legendary set. Both barbarians and Clerics get 2 of 3 pieces.

Why that was the choice, I can't say.

So the main reason for this was AC stacking was and is out of control or at least players have the option for it but that's another discussion. The following were the points of contention.

1. It was argued at the time that the true "tank" classes flavor wise were paladins and fighters so they would be able to get the full benefit.

2. The shield on the cleric had zero drawbacks. Fighters, barbarians and paladins can all use two handed weapons, so they are giving up damage for durability. The same can't be said about the cleric.

3. It's Druegars class ... Enough said.
