BaMo^Wu Jian - shield or no?

Been doing pretty alright with Barachi monk or wu jian. Have a triple sword of ice, double sword of ice, sword of zealot, Sharnga, and just found a eudemon blade. Mennas just dropped +1 large shield or orameim {fly, rElec, Dex+2, Stealth+}.

Used the double sword until I could get triple sword online and been rocking that ever since, also got bows to 20 for ranged first. I'm assuming this new shield isn't really good enough to give up the bow and triple sword with?

Also, trying to decide if eudemon or sword of zealot is better. The eudemon is definitely safer since I don't have clarity. I'm guessing rN+ and EV+3 isn't really enough of a boost to make the risk worth it? the eudemon is +5 compared to zealot's +10.

EDIT - Just found the autumn Katana plus a demon blade of flaming with rebrand scroll. Probably not worth using since my other one handers might all be better than whatever the demon blade turned into.

Re: BaMo^Wu Jian - shield or no?

You have Sharnga. That alone is enough to throw every shield in the game in lava.

Re: BaMo^Wu Jian - shield or no?

Ended up dying to a mummy floor in zig on that one after getting 4 runes. Redid it fairly easily though and won. Felt like longsword barachian with wu jian had good synergy. Multiple hits from martial arts and riposes was nice. Not sure why its listed as an advanced race. The good apts seemed like they more than made up for he speed penalty.
