    Best Shield to Use for Boss Fighting?

    Hey guys. I have a pretty basic question. I was just wondering whether it would be better to use the Chaotic Kiteshield or the Farseer Kiteshield against bossed like the corp, or godwars? I just got 99-99-99 and i've never bossed before.. so.. curious.
    (I have farseer, not chaotic)

    Corp i wouldn't use a shield UNLESS your ranging, then i would get the magic one.
    Also will you be tanking GWD or attacker role? and which GWD boss will you be doing?

    Chaotic Kite

    Farseer is for magic.

    Oh, yah. I forgot i'd be using the Zammy Spear for corp.
    And farseer IS a 14% melee damage reduction. I thought that would come into play more when monsters hit high.

    You might want to use EEK over those 2 shields if you are ranging. EEK (Eagle Eye Kiteshield) has a 14% damage reduction on Magic, which would be great for Ranging Corp since his Magic attack cannot be fully negated by prayer.

    I wouldn't use a shield at Corp for melee unless you are tanking, in which case I'd use an Elysian with a Rune Hesta (p++), then when you are not tanking switch back to Zammy Spear.

    I should also add that Nex teams only accept your shield if it is an EEK (if you don't have Elysian or Divine). Main reason I have it ;)

    Pernix or Armadyl, CCB, Ranger boots or Glaiven boots, Ruby E bolts AND Diamond E bolts, Overloads and Brews, Claws

    Higher level teams will require Yak and Uni, but I think there are some teams that let you slide by with Tort or something.

    EDIT:

    Oh and if you do start getting into Nex let me know. I'm bursting for 96 Summon on my PvM account at the moment, then I'm gonna do like a week or two of Dung to get EEK and CCB then I'm no-lifing it ;) Already have all the other gear (Arma, Glaivens, etc.) ready.
