Nightmare shield with BW heavy - Unseal?

Do I need to unseal a nightmare shield if I want to use it together with a BW heavy set?

You only unseal things to get the set bonus, thers no such things as a bonus with nightmare shield there.

Yewelry is different thoght as they just give bonus unsealed.

nope it will have the same effect
but since nm shield is needed for the nm set bonus you will need to unseal for that

as for why dc shields are sealed? well who the hell knows maybe nc can tell us

Thanks for the replies. :)

I will unseal it later when i can afford the full NM set. ;)

Dont you get a lil more pdef when you unseal it ? like 10 more pdef or something ? Think i have read that somewhere...
Like this for the S grade http://lineage.pmfun.com/list/set

i'll take a stab and say thats just for S grade but proove me wrong

dc shields are part of the dc set bonus

A friend of mine used DC heavy on his SK for AOE groups. As the healer, I could tell a HUGE difference when he wore DC as opposed to other sets. We were powerleveling our alts near Oren, basically pulling every mob in the field, with a 74 SK tanking, 75 SR pulling, my EE healing and 3 50-ish nukers getting the xp. Without the DC, I couldn't keep him alive but with the DC it was no problem. I think for heavy-duty tanking DC is the best.

ofc u cant keep a naked tank alive :)

I unsealed it earlier today (curiousity killed the cat :p ), and p.def (256) stayed the same, so I suppose that's only with S-grade shields.

Info: removing the seal costs 140k ancient adena.

Sorry, but this doesn't make sense. What are you comparing the DC to?

Lets not forget majestic armor. A stunned tank is probably not functioning at 100%. Paralysis, sleep, poison, etc. can all be removed, but with stun you have to wait till it wears off.
