Season just started and builds are not well established yet. For now I'm trying to provide best easy accessible variations that worked well for me and groups I played with.

Shield and Amulets
Look for protection percs, but remember that amulet and shield protection percs do not stack so you can;t go x2 slash or x2 nature

Why Unmoved?
With grit changes you will find yourself pushed around a lot. Untill you get grit ring I'd recommend running unmoved to hold your ground better.

Why Elementally charged set?
You can get x2 conditioning on each piece, and even tho infixes and set bonuses are not working that's best easy accesable option you have beside faction gear armor

As beginner stick with tower shield, I'll share round shield builds and will explain it's benefits later in midseason build guides
