since the update i heard the price for this went from like 10k to well over a million. on asura none have sold since the update so its still 20k in history. i tried putting it in AH for 1mil but no1 bought. will it go up on asura too?
IMHO, for XP this is better than the Iron Musketeer.
The Iron Musketeer should only be used in HNM/DYNAMIS/GOD situtations where that extra boost in HP could save your party. In XP parties, unless you fall to about 15 HP, the extra boost will do nothing seeing as after the first hit, that bonus is gone. Also the def:7 & 1 vit can't compare to the Shield skill+ when by the time u're 65 your def is pretty high & 1 more VIT point WILL NOT reduce more dmg than a few more shield blocks(lvling your skill faster).
In conclusion:
Shield torque is > than Irn. Musketeer for XP. & another piece u can wear is the Ryl.Grd. Collar(acc+4 att+4)
both are far more practical for XP.
FYI: I've had an irn.musketeer & didn't see the benifit vs the shield torque or Ryl.grd. So I'm speaking from first hand XP
I saw a pld using this recently he had awesome gear too, I was thinking of switching to this but for my XP parties im thinking of going maybe to haubergeon and royal guard collar and life belt for more damage.
