Hmm what is the best shield to use in the game??
So far I like the Harmony+2 out of all the shields the best I know it dosent have the best AC defense bonuses but its immune to confusion, hold, charm, domination ect... seems to be a powerhouse weapon?

Could someone please tell me if I am wrong? And the pro's of con's of all shields out there, including TOB if you wish!

Is this the best soloing shield out there?

Darksteel +4 is the best shield. AC +5 plus some magic resistances.
Also there is Shield of the Order +4. AC +5 Saving throws +1.

The saving grace is also pretty decent. It does +5 to AC but no other bonuses...

The shield you're referring to is the Sentinel +4 purchased from one of the merchants by Ust Natha. The saving grace is a quest reward from the Unseeing Eye quest.

Saving Grace is a +3 shield and gives an AC bonus of 4. No special immunities/abilities, though. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif
Sentinel gives an AC bonus of 5, again no special abilities tho'.

The best sheild is NO SHEILD. Double weapons is where its at. Kill them before they have a chance to hit you!

Shield of the Order +4. AC bonus of +5 not to mention +1 to all saves. Don't remember where I got it(watchers keep?), but a must use shield.

my vote goes to Darksteel Shield +4 - +5 AC, +10% resistance to fire/cold/acid/poison.
my second choice would be Shield of the Order +4 - +5 AC, +1 to all saving throws

------------------

I have a variety of Shield to suit situations:

Balduran+2....Beholders
Reflection Shield+1....Archers(lots in ToB)
Dark Steel+4....always except for above
Shield or Order+4...on the other member of party
Sentinel+4...rubbish bin
Fortress+3...same as above
