Im curious as to why Tactics are more valued than Strength based.
And for sticking to the theme of the post xxa
As other mentioned, demon shields are mainly DoA, but overall I still feel that tactics are better than str. Str shields will never allow you to put attribute points into it without being a warrior. Tactics is the only OS shield attribute that you can gain the max armor from without being a warrior.
Another example is Bogsc. Whenever I tank, I tank in A/W and have a tactics +10 vs slashing shield, which I can spend my other unused attribute points on.
That's why I always try to buy a tactic shield instead of str, because there's situations where you'll gain double armor from a shield just because it's a specific attribute.
But then there's also situations where you won't have any attribute points over to spend on shield attribute, so a cheaper str one will do just fine there aswell.
