What would be the best shield to use?
I have a spiked shield with 20/30 17life 11dgtm 2s. Would the 17life 11dgtm adds beat 15% more mana regeneration?
Let me know your opinions

If you plan to get hit after ur low on mana, to regen mana, yes

Otherwise double eth or something cheapest effective

I'm thinking about throwing 2x eth in it instead of using a kite with 20/30 and 3s w. 3x eth

My duel experience in 30 is pretty limited, but in 18 it wasn't very unusual for me to get hit at close range on shield site when trying to get mana. Dgtm came in handy here.

What are your experience here? If you manage to keep distance in your average duel and not getting hit while on shield site, 3x eth is superior it seems to me. But in probably a bunch if situations, especially in tvts, you will stay within close range while regenerating?

Based on what you're saying-

Artisans Kite Shield of (Rep life) with 3x Eth vs non melee.

30/20 Kite Shield with Rep life and 2x Eth if you need the regen vs melee or tvt. Granted the melee toon would play aggressive.

Artisans Kite Shield of Deflecting with ed/dex or maxers for MB and pure damage.

Assuming this is for a zon?

Zon is gonna have mb no matter what. Best shield vs all is 17/30/20/5rep/2soc w/ other mods like res, you could 2x eth it if you’re not good at conserving mana, or 20/6/9 for dmg or something

Makes sense to pick a third shield, I suppose.
On EU there's a cap on repl of 20 of ama (ye). Would appreciate getting it all from jewelry so it's maxed on both sides. Alternatively, there's 20 life 3s one ~~

I agree, that's why I use, was just going off what he was wanting for the 3x eth.
