Between 3 basic sacred Amazon Shield the Athulua Hand, Phoenix Shield, and Setzchild. I think Phoenix Shield need to be buffed. As of now It defense (def: 1463) only about 100 point higher than the Athulua Hand (def: 1331), but the requirement is high enough (str: 648) even higher than setzchild (str: 643) with 5708 defense, but Setzchild have movement penalty which is handled by Wild and Free.
As most Amazon 1h weapon which are sceptre and javelin require dex you would use Athulua Hand, and if you have str that high you can always use setzchild. The question, is there any reason to choose Sacred Phoenix Shield over the other as base item for RW or crafted item?
