Difference in math usually means subtraction, therefore 20 - 18 = 2.
The difference is 2%.
Very big? Well.. I guess that depends on the player, I would pay much more for a br18 shield over a br16 one. And I would pay much much more for a br20 over a br18 one.

if your trying to say... should you try and get BR 20? then no keep 18 lol.

i think this topic is gonna turn into a maths game.

Not worth it to get it to 20 from 18. 18 is more than good enough.

there is a very good chance you will NEVER get br 20. be happy with 18, its a respectable BR for sure

On my first 85+7 shield I spent (literally, on premium plus) 140 tablets on it to try and get 18.

Never went over 16.

So be happy with the br 18 =]

On my first 85+7 shield I spent (literally, on premium plus) 0 agility stones on it, because the master stone assimilated the BR from 10 --> 20 on the first stone. XD
but then I went around all of 90 cap with 22% whites and crit60.. str6 int4, butttt br20 still rapes.

Do not try to get a 100% white on anything, its almost impossible you may spend 1 bil and never get it. The only time you will get the 100% is when you least expect it

aim for 80% if you want to pimp a white stat.

I have only made a single 100% white since i started playing, and that was my 85 sword (100%) crit 15

If you get 18 on the shield just leave agility stones alone now, unless its a SoX shield of course then keep trying to get 80%.

Even 80% is fairly high to aim for on whites. I normally aim for 61% and it's not because I don't have the gold. It's just way to easy to assimilate something and 80% is pretty damn rare.

Don't try to get br 20, you may never get it. A guildie had a shield with br 20, assimilated it with 10% STR stone.... that same night we used over 150 stones and it never got higher than 14 so... 18 br is pretty nice.
I had a shiled with 20 br once... bought it for 85 mil xD (lv 85 shield) and i sold it for 580 mil ^^ My shield then was with 18 br and i decided to take the money instead of using the 20 br one.

nope, dont really matter much, just a luck game, u probably wont feel any difference w/ a br 16 anyway...but br18 & w/ this mad rush for 10d gear, u mite as well just sell it...

it's just all luck anyway...unless u have a br10 or 12, maybe 14, u may feel like ur not blocking so much, but 16+, ur good

Don´t try to go over 18!
20 is a much better very hard to get :cry:

block rate is more important than shield defence when you are fighting multiple mobs:
negate alot of attacks.

but even a BR of 15 is sufficient

What's the max BR on a sun shield? 26?

congratz... a bladers dream to get br 20+ (100%)

Amalie · **Joined:** Feb 2008 **Posts:** 390 **Location:**

Sun shield is 24 block max.

And yeah aiming for 60% on most whites is quite possible without costing to much and 80%s things like crit parry and block.

hope ure considering 20 as 20% block chance. otherwise u failed at math

I had Crit 100% and BR 100% at cap 90. Oh and it was +9 too. I think I got very lucky

i once made a glave at 80 cap 100% phy and mag got the mag by using the one for mag and the other one was when i was adding str almost pooped myself

the higher the br the better, its the most important stat on the whole shield..

if you can buy a sos, sosun isnt really worth it but its easier to get br 20 with a sos shield...

id be happy with 17, id make 18 on my last shield but wouldnt be really fussed about 19 or 20 really
