The RICO shield should be on this list. The red text says it all: You wanna life forever? *50% chance to reflect damage while shielded. *80% chance to reflect projectiles while not shielded. I got the Improved Rico, which also gives me +25% Max Capacity.
This one is crazier Whatever it absorbs adds ammo to the currently equipped weapon type instead of weapon related So I eat you smg and get full rockets
The transformer makes Moze not die. Godlike. That 100 percent shock damage transfers into her shied combined with shock hex frag and if you built her right you never run out of frags. You can solo mayhem 3. The legendary guns rain for me.
Charles Hastings and Zane also has a skill that’s basically the bee too, it gets increased damage with a full shield, and the damage decreases along with your shield
The transformer straight up turns powerhouse heavies into friendly medics and electric barrels into medkits. Wanna have some fun? "Fight" killavolt with it.
@@nickcanclimb What do you like about it? Maybe it's OK at lower levels, but at 50 the bot just doesn't put out enough damage to be noteworthy (for me, anyway).
@@Dylboz it really shines on moze imo but if u have a kill skill/movement speed zane (or siren) it would b solid I bet. Got all 4 maxed n workin on builds haha but trying to apply this one still
iamamish you’re right and I always drop it for another, but I do like it. It’s just decent and I think the girlfriend complaining about claptrap is funny. But I definitely only use it on first playthrough and not after lvl 50. I got one where it shot shock bullets though and would break shields which was cool.
@@blazingfire90034 I think it would have been a much better story had they created a better main villain. The calypso twins were just too contrived for me, I knew as soon as Typhon mentioned he had kids exactly where they were going with his involvement.
I love the Back Ham shield for running to bosses - when you're just trying to avoid the mobs, 90% of them will be shooting at you from behind, and it's much easier to get through without getting downed.
Imagine reviewing the Brawler Ward shield (which depends on your shield being depleted) and then complaining that the recharge delay is too long... LMAO
Ah, ham. Is there anything it can't do? (Seriously, I love that the Back Ham shield is a thing. Now we just need a ham gun and a ham grenade - and maybe a ham class mod and artifact - to go full ham in this game. XD )
Regarding the Ward: It's a roid shield.. of course you want the worst possible capacity / recharge rate and delay so it *stays* down for the bonus(es).
Yes exactly, im surprised no one mentioned the Band of Sitorak, the key and peele joke is its red text: "I said, biiiiiiiiiitttttcchhh" it gives max health and weapon damage when depleted.
There is a glitch with it where the bonuses from depleting your shield stacks the buffs multiplicatively so just keep breaking your shield over and over and you can end up one shotting everything after a while
Transformer is also amazingly useful if you have an electric weapon and you get the mayhem tag that gives bullets a 30% chance to bounce backatcha. Transformer and Brainstormer are a particularly fun combo with that "debuff" active.
SHIELDs you say?! I ended up with this absurd annointed Replicator Re-charger that gives %5 health regen/s after action skill end. Replicator prefix gives +15% health and 33% resistance to the last damage type received for 4 secs. I've yet to find something better for survivability.
The Back Ham is amazing. Cleared my first run without ever switching it off. Had better results with it than the transformer. Got it to drop from Rampager third try. Good hunting out there.
praetorian front loader is pretty good too - the adaptive resistance to elemental damage is pretty good on boss fights - paired with the 60% chance for a shield recharge drop.
The transformer is great with the legendary Relic "that thin red line" it doubles your shields and this shield has good amount without (though it dose make yoir health one) but it makes all shock damage refuel your shields and it practically makes all your health able to simply regenerate
Was farming Graveward last night and got the Transformer, the Back Ham, The Stop Gap, The recharger, Deathless relic and a burning Flakker. Best loot farming session ever.
My main man Terry Pratchett got a borderlands shout out xD been reading his disc world books since I was 13, cried like a baby at work when he past away RIP Terry you magnificent bastard !
You get some really nice gear combos with some of these shields too. For example, you can use Dethless with Transformer to pump more capacity into your shield, and then use a Shock Fastball on yourself to "heal". I use this on my Fl4K, because generally the Fade Away build isn't dependent on those equipment slots. Another one that is admittedly really cheese is using Re-Charger with Dethless on Moze. As if her capacity isn't already insane, if and when the shield is depleted, she can instantly get all of it back and can survive well enough during it's cooldown.
It seems like they are going to add more legendary items of all types in the dlc and events as compared to BL2 ...they already added 2 weapons just for the first patch...so I hope we get a lot of new shields...artifacts...and relics along with the new weapons...it was a great idea by gearbox to have a team dedicated to legendary loot
I wish they had less total legendaries and a lower drop rate, just kept all the good ones in the game. I have so many legendaries that are crap and useless.
I have an anointed Back Ham that reduces incoming damage on action skill end. This shield makes Zane so incredibly tanky. Soloing Mayhem 3 on TVHM is a walk in the park with it. I love that shield
The Bern shield is also a very fun shield, maybe not the best, but creates massive damage on both break and recharge. When paired with Zane, it also breaks when summoning Digi Clone and Shield (not sure about Sntnl). Only down side is lower shield amount.
I love my turtle front-loader shield with almost 14k base. on moze with deathless artifact and 5 points in thin red line I top out at over 52k. Still looking for that double turtle front loader that could send me over the 60k mark
Chris Straw my Transformer shield puts me over 60k after I hop in and out of my trash panda suit,anointed perk gives 75% increased health and shield so Thin Red Line + Deathless + that anointed perk from Transformer= lots of shields
I've been trying to get an answer to this question. How do we get those plus/cross shaped artifacts, shown at 3:30s, and are they better than the other shaped artifacts? Cause I see so many TH-camrs with them but never can get them to drop.
@@LawfulT Slaughter Shaft doesn't seem to drop any artifacts, don't waste your time . I've been farming it a lot and never got one artifact. It's the place for everything else but not for artifacts.
@@buschkoeter I get artifacts from slaughter shaft. While I get a lot of stuff more than them you can still get them. Its honestly all about getting lucky. Which is why I'm wondering if my luck is just bad that I haven't found these artifacts. And with a game that has certain effects hidden behind how an item looks it has me curious if they're an improvement over the other artifacts.
@@LawfulT I would say if you need to level guardian rank or power level a friend then do slaughter shaft to get some legendaries while you power level. If you want artifacts specifically try the loot tink method.
Re-Charger is so underrated when paired with any artifact with the Last Stand perk. Ive stood in M4 wanting to die and certain enemies just cant kill you. Get yourself a bit of survive-ability through life steal and youre near untouchable.
if you get zane's skill that allows you to regen as soon as you swap places with your clone, the invun shield is amazing, if you get a good recharge rate
From my short experience of using it, the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is actually good in this game, as it constantly dealt good dmg. This was at low lvl though, while going through Skywell 27
Where's the band of sitorak? I have my Amara set up for a glasscannon build with it and the only skill I have for survivability is two points into sustainment and I can shred the circle of slaughter on mh3 it's so fun! Mine has bonus +10% max health and +10% fire rate while depleted and also annointed for +5% health regen/sec after using action skill
The two shields I've been running at level 50 are WTF shock shield which is hands down my favorite, and the Transformer. I do use The Messy Breakup on occasion but at lvl 50 the little bot doesnt pyt out nearly the damage to keep up.
I have a double turtle variant of the stop gap that grants +80% capacity and -20% health that i use with zane. Its very nice when you factor in his skills that boost health and gives health regen.
In regards to 'The Ward' you want the recharge delay to be LONG so it's a good thing. That gives you nearly 8 seconds to output MAX damage. Especially with a facepuncher as it gets the melee and the weapon bonus
The messy break up is a good shield mine has 9333 shield capacity with 20% electric resistance and spawns 1-2 turrets thats also does around 800 electric damage
On my elemental Amara build. I really like the messy break up as my shield. Where I am constantly healing from dealing elemental damage, and it keeps spawning drones from my shield repeatedly breaking.
I think the best shield in the game is the back ham especially on mayhem 3 it really stops most damage and one of the back ham shields absorbs ammo it's really decent
I got retro feelings towards BL1 where some low level items were WAY OP. I got a Black Hole on level 7. It was useful to kill enemies until around level 27 or so.
definitely gonna go for recharger or transformer recharger essentially gives you as much as 20000+ in shields and the fact transformer can mitigate shock damage entirely is an amazing advantage in certain areas
I use the Transformer, but so many other Legendary shields I find are hampered in some way. They'll have great abilities but terrible strength. So ultimately why would I drop from over 11k down to 4k just for an ability, unless it was like the Transformer is against Killavolt.
Shouldn't Stopgap be prioritizing recharge delay and speed, seeing as it only procs the special effect once per full charge? It's high cap to counter its special.
Does the Stop-Gap stack with those artifacts that grant temporary invulnerability when you reach half-health? If so, that'd be some crazy survivability.
I'm sorry for the stupid question but what Do the circles in his Videos mean with spawn and farm location written on it? English is not my first language and I don't really understand it
The transformer is probably the best, but the stop gap is definitely a close second if you have that ability that starts your recharge rate after a kill.
Is there transformer shields for all elemental damages? So far I have 100% electric resistance and acid resistance, but is there fire, radiation and ice?
Stop-Gap needs a minor buff, It doesn't give you the 5 sec immunity when the shield brakes like it say, it gives it like 1 second later. Which leads to characters like Reline Moze having 0 use for this shield at all
BackHam and Rough Rider are hands down the best shields in the game especially if you get a featherweight rough rider which gives run speed and melee buffs while shield is down
The big boom blaster after the auto pick up patch for the boosters is god tier you get 1 nade a ton of shield and 1 heavy ammo per booster each booster has a 60% chance to spawn. Slap that on a Zane barrier and it’s god. And remember boosters are auto pick up so you simply move near their vicinity like ammo and Eridium and they auto pick up.
The Failsafe Turtle Recharger is the best shield in the game. It is like 12k and drops shield refills. It's like having a never ending 24k shield before you get to health. It can survive SS M3 TVHM solo
Is that flamethrower a decent weapon? I have a high DPS one I got at level 50 and threw it on my wall for show. It didn't impress me maybe I was using it wrong.
I wish you could pick up the charges by walking over them. It's pretty ridiculous attempting to manually pick up a dropped charge with the insanely small hitbox while badass enemies launch full-auto rockets at you. They change that, and a lot more shields would become viable.
@@RemusAkanara0000 yeah I noticed it yesterday in the hotfix notes. Now I'm back on the hunt for the stop-gap or loader I found a while back that dropped health, shields, and a power charge (which I sold... doh!)
Ppl underestimate exactly how op the transformer is due to the fact torgue elemental shotguns can do 3k explosove damage meaning if you shoot straight down thats insta 3k shields replenished per shot no questions asked on top of the alchemist weapon dealing shock damage to self meaning you get a heal every shot and being arguably one of the best weapons ingame period.
I use a stop-gap Shield. With the five seconds of immunity and with the 5.7 recharge delay it's basically a .7 recharge delay where I can take damage. Has about 14k capacity and some other crap but it's a great Shield
I've been one shot farming graveward for so long now I've found and kept every one of these shields, I'm glad my instincts were pretty spot on. I love the Re-Charger for Zane since I'm running a build that benefits heavily from my shields being full, not to mention getting hit for 10k in Mayhem 3 and watching your shield zip back to full is so great. I used the Stop Gap for a while just because that immunity is so strong but I feel it's better on a different character or at least just a different build, maybe the Shield Breaking class mod build? Zane has a class mod that breaks his shield and he gets bonuses when its low or broken, it would be cool to break your own shield for the bonuses and also get 5 seconds of immunity, just a thought
@@ghostofmoredishesmorebitch1507 I use the Scourge rocket launcher plus the Unforgiven revolver, it's called crit swapping, theres a bunch of videos about it. Basically all you do is put on all your gun damage buffs, fire the rocket at the big yellow crit spot in the center of his chest, while the rocket is in the air you swap to your pistol and just hold it, the pistol has +432% critical hit damage, which for some reason transfers to the rocket that's still in flight. When the rocket hits it one shots him, unless you got bad modifiers, but if you do you just reset it until you get them
@@ghostofmoredishesmorebitch1507 No I play Zane, I dont even have a second character, I might try to upload a clip of it to my channel tonight if you're interested
My idea for an interesting shield is to make a shield with high capacity like huge. But when you take shield damage it heals the enemies dealing said damage. However when the shield breaks all damage healed or over healed by the shield gets felt back as damage to the enemies.
@@sunskyriver the point of it is you can still kill them but it would be like a long range nova when the shield breaks. You can damage enemies enough to kill them but say there's a huge mob you can't kill they take the heals and over heal and it stores up to a cap. Shield break and that build up bursts as damage.
My transformer was a world drop level 47 11k plus a little so if you get a world drop level 50 anointed it could come pretty high I'm guessing like 13k maybe I'm wrong but the transformer on amara rocks
I'd like to nominate the Black Hole for your next vid. It outright one shots most mob enemies with the singularity nova. And it's hilarious to watch. Great for FFYL and great for general mobbing especially on Amara. Not good at all for bosses though. Use a Stop Gap or Transformer for those.
Hard to use anything other than the Transformer. At least on my Zane with the deathless artifact. I have a purple with over 15k shields, but think the transformers bullet absorb helps so much.
My best shields are: Bullet-Vacuum Stop Gap and the Reinforced Front Loader, both anointed. Sucks that nothing is rare in this game though, seen all shields like 30 times already.
For Amara, the rough rider is pretty sensational. I’ve got an anointed version that regenerates 5% of max health per second on action skill end and I never die
There's an extremely rare variant of it called the Featherweight Rough Rider that gives +80% melee and +10% movement speed when the shield is down... aka Permanent buff to melee and speed.
Anyone else get a rough rider yet? I got one from the slot machine at moxxies and one from graveward.im happy to see some of bl2 items make a comback in bl3.
Hell nah, De Recharger is the best hands down. Don't get one with an element niether. You want one without and it'll give you a 11k shield that instantly recharges when broken.
Front loader? Trash as hell 60% reduced speed and 60% reduced max health for a WAY lower than average capacity that after adding your health in has a capacity equal if not barely higher than transformer Who designed that shield and thought that made sense? Its the tank shield! Why does it tank worse than a absorption shield lol
The Re-charger is the shield I'm using the most right now on my Amara. The transformer is also good, even though I mostly only use it to farm Killavolt. Easy Mayhem 3 farming method since it absorbs 100% shock damage lol
In my personal opinion I think the front loader is the best, not for every build tho as I shines on a low up moze build. This is becz 60% of ur hop is reserved as shield so for a 1 go moze build u basically get a free extra 60% shield. Also I have a variant tht gives 40% more shield but reduces ur hp by 10% so all in all I get 100% more shield. This can also go well with a deathless as in total u’ll get 200% more shield but in my opinion I much prefer the grave artifact as it gives u 25 or 20% more weapon dmg, 30% more splash dmg n’ 100% more melee dmg. This means tht I dont need to run a deathless as the front loader already gives me 100% more shield n’ I’d rather have more dmg instead of be more tankyer. Srry for the long paragraph, just wanted to get an accurate point across... Great video btw 👌👍💯
The RICO shield should be on this list. The red text says it all: You wanna life forever?
*50% chance to reflect damage while shielded.
*80% chance to reflect projectiles while not shielded.
I got the Improved Rico, which also gives me +25% Max Capacity.
"The transformer has a very high absorb chance of 40%."
94% sham: am i a joke to you?

So ultimately why would I drop from over 11k down to 4k just for an ability, unless it was like the Transformer is against Killavolt.
Shouldn't Stopgap be prioritizing recharge delay and speed, seeing as it only procs the special effect once per full charge? It's high cap to counter its special.
The red text on the Ward is reference to the song "Aquarium" by the band Haken. It's not a reference to a band called Aquarium.
Does the Stop-Gap stack with those artifacts that grant temporary invulnerability when you reach half-health? If so, that'd be some crazy survivability.
I'm sorry for the stupid question but what Do the circles in his Videos mean with spawn and farm location written on it? English is not my first language and I don't really understand it
The transformer is probably the best, but the stop gap is definitely a close second if you have that ability that starts your recharge rate after a kill.
Is there transformer shields for all elemental damages? So far I have 100% electric resistance and acid resistance, but is there fire, radiation and ice?
Stop-Gap needs a minor buff, It doesn't give you the 5 sec immunity when the shield brakes like it say, it gives it like 1 second later. Which leads to characters like Reline Moze having 0 use for this shield at all
The transformer is my favourite. Makes Killavolt’s fight a walk in the park.
The Ward's subtext is from the song Aquarium by the band Haken
BackHam and Rough Rider are hands down the best shields in the game especially if you get a featherweight rough rider which gives run speed and melee buffs while shield is down
Is the rare enemy spawn thing completely over? Or does it work on a cycle?
The big boom blaster after the auto pick up patch for the boosters is god tier you get 1 nade a ton of shield and 1 heavy ammo per booster each booster has a 60% chance to spawn. Slap that on a Zane barrier and it’s god. And remember boosters are auto pick up so you simply move near their vicinity like ammo and Eridium and they auto pick up.
The Failsafe Turtle Recharger is the best shield in the game. It is like 12k and drops shield refills. It's like having a never ending 24k shield before you get to health. It can survive SS M3 TVHM solo
Is that flamethrower a decent weapon? I have a high DPS one I got at level 50 and threw it on my wall for show. It didn't impress me maybe I was using it wrong.
I also wasn't impressed with it on Mayhem III, just didn't do as much damage as my other legendary fire SMGS.
@@xXLoneLoboXx right. I got a good one and it seems awesome but I feel like getting that close on mayhem 3 is not advisable lol
Featherweight Rough Rider is amazing for an Amara build.
I got a ninja tortoise stop-gap.
I also got the workhorse re-charger.
And the ham,all from the hoarder tink...and the transformer.
I wish you could pick up the charges by walking over them. It's pretty ridiculous attempting to manually pick up a dropped charge with the insanely small hitbox while badass enemies launch full-auto rockets at you. They change that, and a lot more shields would become viable.
They just adjusted that in a hotfix
@@RemusAkanara0000 yeah I noticed it yesterday in the hotfix notes. Now I'm back on the hunt for the stop-gap or loader I found a while back that dropped health, shields, and a power charge (which I sold... doh!)
Hell yeah man. Get that grind. Lemme know if you need any help. I'm on Xbox.
Ppl underestimate exactly how op the transformer is due to the fact torgue elemental shotguns can do 3k explosove damage meaning if you shoot straight down thats insta 3k shields replenished per shot no questions asked on top of the alchemist weapon dealing shock damage to self meaning you get a heal every shot and being arguably one of the best weapons ingame period.
have you taken a look at the Messy Breakup shield?
The Transformer is my favourite so far
I use a stop-gap Shield. With the five seconds of immunity and with the 5.7 recharge delay it's basically a .7 recharge delay where I can take damage. Has about 14k capacity and some other crap but it's a great Shield
Such a shame the stop gap or re-charger doesn’t work on my moze build haha.
Or on Cryo Zane
If the shield reflects, do you still take damage or is it a 40% chance to avoid damage
I've been one shot farming graveward for so long now I've found and kept every one of these shields, I'm glad my instincts were pretty spot on. I love the Re-Charger for Zane since I'm running a build that benefits heavily from my shields being full, not to mention getting hit for 10k in Mayhem 3 and watching your shield zip back to full is so great. I used the Stop Gap for a while just because that immunity is so strong but I feel it's better on a different character or at least just a different build, maybe the Shield Breaking class mod build? Zane has a class mod that breaks his shield and he gets bonuses when its low or broken, it would be cool to break your own shield for the bonuses and also get 5 seconds of immunity, just a thought
One shotting with what
@@ghostofmoredishesmorebitch1507 I use the Scourge rocket launcher plus the Unforgiven revolver, it's called crit swapping, theres a bunch of videos about it. Basically all you do is put on all your gun damage buffs, fire the rocket at the big yellow crit spot in the center of his chest, while the rocket is in the air you swap to your pistol and just hold it, the pistol has +432% critical hit damage, which for some reason transfers to the rocket that's still in flight. When the rocket hits it one shots him, unless you got bad modifiers, but if you do you just reset it until you get them
@@zanemain9951 this is flakk I assume
@@ghostofmoredishesmorebitch1507 No I play Zane, I dont even have a second character, I might try to upload a clip of it to my channel tonight if you're interested
My idea for an interesting shield is to make a shield with high capacity like huge. But when you take shield damage it heals the enemies dealing said damage. However when the shield breaks all damage healed or over healed by the shield gets felt back as damage to the enemies.
That sounds bad a shield that heals the enemies?
@@sunskyriver the point of it is you can still kill them but it would be like a long range nova when the shield breaks. You can damage enemies enough to kill them but say there's a huge mob you can't kill they take the heals and over heal and it stores up to a cap. Shield break and that build up bursts as damage.
Once more with feeling came from Bruce Lee not buffy.
I'm not sure if he was being serious or not. Like, did he really just choose the first Google result? L A Z Y
Not exactly Bruce Lee: th-cam.com/video/3iokKq1VUrE/w-d-xo.html
Thank you ^^
@@Dylboz did that's a parody and I'm very glad you linked it because if hilarious.
My transformer was a world drop level 47 11k plus a little so if you get a world drop level 50 anointed it could come pretty high I'm guessing like 13k maybe I'm wrong but the transformer on amara rocks
I got a bunch of these shields from the slots because until April 9th 2020 the drop rate of legendaries (and bandit grenades) is majorly increased
I'd like to nominate the Black Hole for your next vid. It outright one shots most mob enemies with the singularity nova. And it's hilarious to watch. Great for FFYL and great for general mobbing especially on Amara. Not good at all for bosses though. Use a Stop Gap or Transformer for those.
Bloodletter 1hp moze with an anointed transformer shield and mirv stormfront grenades
Been trying hard for the sf. Im using a radiation hex for now,pretty good
@@MrButchersTube I suggest the loot midgets in offline mode. I've seen quite a few drop from them.
Zane with clone swapping build is great with the Recharger, I have the chameleon variant that reduces damage of the last damage type taken.
Ahh, so you found this too, also really good with the re router if he’s built right
Zane actually has some abilities that work really well with the recharger
Yeah I dunno if that is specific to buffy the vampire slayer. Pretty sure I've heard "once more with feeling" before
I'm surprised Rough Rider isn't on this, it's awesome for Zane builds that revolve around him resetting his cooldown.
And having the damage and speed bonus of his Infiltrator Com active all the time.
Hard to use anything other than the Transformer. At least on my Zane with the deathless artifact. I have a purple with over 15k shields, but think the transformers bullet absorb helps so much.
My best shields are: Bullet-Vacuum Stop Gap and the Reinforced Front Loader, both anointed. Sucks that nothing is rare in this game though, seen all shields like 30 times already.
I love the transformer shield charges up from all the zap damage with a 40 percent bullet absorb
What is the song used back ham?
For Amara, the rough rider is pretty sensational. I’ve got an anointed version that regenerates 5% of max health per second on action skill end and I never die
There's an extremely rare variant of it called the Featherweight Rough Rider that gives +80% melee and +10% movement speed when the shield is down... aka Permanent buff to melee and speed.
Jovial 80% probably isn’t enough with 300% roid shields out there
@@DaJMaster289 It comes down to preference I guess. 80% with 10% movement speed all the time or 300% only when your shield goes down.
Jovial I got that shield, just havnt uses it yet. Still have to make a melee amara build.
What artifact are you using that shoots a snow ball
The best shield I have is the level 50 transformer
It's especially good against Maliwan. If you find a single Stormchucker Heavy, you just stand in their electric field and turn invincible
Killavolt exists.
Transformer time to screw ya over laddie
Anyone else get a rough rider yet? I got one from the slot machine at moxxies and one from graveward.im happy to see some of bl2 items make a comback in bl3.
@@JustNudgeo
I feel like if Krieg had the Rough Rider shield, he'd be MASSIVELY overpowered
@@waitwhat238 i wished they would add him in a future dlc.i miss his crazy lines
Hell nah, De Recharger is the best hands down. Don't get one with an element niether. You want one without and it'll give you a 11k shield that instantly recharges when broken.
Extremophile is the best prefix.
I have it paired up with a health regen artifact and my Amara has life steal and it is perfect with that setup
fucking funny then that he never said it wasnt isnt it?
@@sneaky5141 so many negatives in that sentence. It made zero sense.
@@etothee5339 let me guess, american public school?
Defintely include the front loader and rerouter on the shield list part 2
Front loader?
Trash as hell
60% reduced speed and 60% reduced max health for a WAY lower than average capacity that after adding your health in has a capacity equal if not barely higher than transformer
Who designed that shield and thought that made sense? Its the tank shield! Why does it tank worse than a absorption shield lol
The Re-charger is the shield I'm using the most right now on my Amara. The transformer is also good, even though I mostly only use it to farm Killavolt. Easy Mayhem 3 farming method since it absorbs 100% shock damage lol
In my personal opinion I think the front loader is the best, not for every build tho as I shines on a low up moze build. This is becz 60% of ur hop is reserved as shield so for a 1 go moze build u basically get a free extra 60% shield. Also I have a variant tht gives 40% more shield but reduces ur hp by 10% so all in all I get 100% more shield. This can also go well with a deathless as in total u’ll get 200% more shield but in my opinion I much prefer the grave artifact as it gives u 25 or 20% more weapon dmg, 30% more splash dmg n’ 100% more melee dmg. This means tht I dont need to run a deathless as the front loader already gives me 100% more shield n’ I’d rather have more dmg instead of be more tankyer. Srry for the long paragraph, just wanted to get an accurate point across... Great video btw 👌👍💯
The Messy Break up has gotten me out of some sticky spots.
