Well yeah, noone uses a shield for bosses (i did once when I had to tank 210 edl adds on my mage though), but for lixing would you rather have triple the survivability or 10% more dps? Soloing in 200 room I was getting 2 full bars with offhand shield without using any pots. I doubt you can get much better than that. Post 200, I still haven't gotten below 1.2 bars on a lix even in hallways. Haven't potted after hundreds of 4* dragons. I'd argue that my overall dps while solo is better with shield and tank lux than with my full dps build
Cool thanks. I'll grab the evasion one. When group lixing I typically use the Wyld focus ammy and 180 grim offhand but solo shield and stargem vit+armor ammy. Strange thing is I don't see much higher skills hit with all the focus gear vs all the vit and armor gear
