When are shields worth it?

[sir_spanksalot]

dedicated tank sets like Markovian

But markovican warlord does very well.

[1.1.1.2] Carrot Lord - Markovian Cadence + 3x Blitz Warlord, Gladiator (7:06) and SR 86 viable

[image] Hello, wonderful people! Markovian set was in weird state in 1.0.6.1 when I decided to assemble a Carrot Tank witchblade using this set, and it was good. It was indeed tanky and had some damage potential to finish Crucible on par with best S&B builds around. But in Forgotten Gods, with new gear, devotions and Oathkeeper mastery, Markovian set can truly shine. It’s my first build in Forgotten Gods expansion and I think it’s one of the best of my builds in all times. Praise the vegeta…

EDIT: Woops - just saw that you’ve included the carrot lord.

Doesn’t octavius aegis still do well? Virtue aegis too?
