Hi Tredvolt, I decided to give your shield build a try and respecced my level 11 lead with Warfare, Poly, etc. but even with the best shield I can find I do only 140 damage. My companions' blood and farsight infused incarnates do 400 per turn between Mosq. swarm and ranged attack. This doesn't seem right. I'm sure you know what you're doing so what am I missing? Are there special hand placed shields required for this to work at lower levels? The control potential with with spider legs and Medusa head work well but the shield part doesn't.
