I need a shield

I have my Cleric Blacksmith build that I've been working on and I can't find a good shield I like to go with it. Sanctus was my first choice but it's a bit too "bright" to go with the fatty Cleric Armor and a Blacksmith Hammer. I've messed around and just can't seem to find one that looks good with this armor. I need recommendations for good-looking shields that I could use instead, help me out!

Have you tried the effigy or the kite shields? I think they'd look pretty good

If you are going for the grim and gritty look I'd suggest either the Grass Crest (awesome scratches and stuff all over not to mention a nice stamina boost), the Tower Shield (towers a re symbols of strength/ also pretty worn), or the Cadeuceus Kite Shield (the one Nico/Vince carried in the TotG).

I like that you are trying for aesthetics over practicality (maybe you are doing both?) I do the same thing.

tower kite shield might work...

I have a shield for every occasion

Gotta be the Effigy - that thing looks awesome and its stats are great when levelled ( except magic)

effigy shield! you caould have a reg and a fire one, doesnt really matter since the stability sucks anyway.
