I'm using 100% cb build (65cb last wish pb/guil helm)
so far I use ss as my shield but what about something else?
an old guide on here says that open wounds work for kicks...if so should I swap my shield for swordback or what?

Maybe Phoenix more dmg.

is phoenix viable with max block? sorry I forgot to mention mb as a must lol

No. Imo too many dex points invested

HHG, 3 soc

Could see Swordback being OK if you want the OW. But, you will have to spend a lot more dex to get max block (like 284 dex on a level 92 sin, apparently).

I was thinking something like:
- Rhyme to remove something with CBF
- Sanctuary for even more resists

But, those run into the same problem (lotssss of dex needed)

I am almost thinking that a Whitstan's Guard might be the best choice?
You'd only need 176 dex on a level 92 character, which would save ya a lot of Vit.

Could even put an Eld in it to to reduce the dex more. Or whatever else ya want.

In lod phoenix will slow you down.
Phoenix 400% ed will add very little damage on kick.

Best shield is stormshield with 15ias/15@ jewel.
And those strenght in stormshield adds like almost same damage as phoenix for kick. Due to how formula is set up.

Thanks everyone. I'll just stick with stormshield

I can show you my kick sin she kinda top tier and imo storm shield is not required.

Gel is the master sin.
