Strength shields are completely redundant for high-tiers. ASoD offers overstacked Dex and +0.133 speed over con shields. Above 30 con is totally useless and so even HSoH and Leaf Shield have their limitations, if it weren't for their +1speed they'd be quite alot lower on my shield ratings.

you're saying, for a new player with, lets say just ring of wars, they'd rather have ASoD over something like Dustari Shield? As a Brigid mage I stacked 36 dex at all times. Dex is un-needed, and Phoenix shield can nearly replicate the +3speed that ASoD gives.
