I've farmed about 500 boura pelts and have only gotten one so far.. I'm not at home to post a screenshot. They are nice, I've yet to use one in PvP. It acts like the paralyze spell. It paralyzes opponents for 3 seconds, regardless of resist. It does NOT set off the non-para timer like a stun punch or paralyzing blow. It has a 30% chance to paralyze your attacker if you parry a shot.Does anyone have a picture of a Boura Shield they can show us? I've heard they look like the wooden kites and are quite useful.
Ta.
Boura Tail Shield (Wooden Kite Shield)I wonder if it can be imbued? It is interesting, would be fun to play with say a 4/6 chiv or a necro warrior.
off bourasSo it drops as loot?
Imbue it.Too bad it doesn't have spell channeling... or I'd be trying to get one for my Parry-Mage. That reactive paralyze could come in handy.
In this world of warriors using bushido, however, I don't see this as being overly useful. If you have a parry-only warrior you'd probably be using a shield with both HCI and DCI or a DCI/FC1 shield. If you just want resists you'd be using a Sentinel's Guard or a Blackthorn's Exemplar. Am I missing something that would make this shield extremely useful?

Why yes, I think a Passive para hit would come in useful.Too bad it doesn't have spell channeling... or I'd be trying to get one for my Parry-Mage. That reactive paralyze could come in handy.

I got mine off either the lowland or the ruddy. I did not hunt the high plains because of the little extra dangers in the area.Thanks for all the helpful replies so far; i've got one more question.
Do these shields drop from all kinds of bouras?
I've been hunting ruddy and high plains to no avail, but I've noticed the high plains have a special tail attack so was wondering if these fellas drop the shields.
Has anyone been able to test this? My concern was the number of mods. If the 1 energy really is inate then it should be fine, but I don't know if it takes up a mod slot or not.If it has a cap of 450% the 8 Phys and Reactive would need to count as no more than 204% combined (140% & 64%?) to allow you to have SC no penalty... I think thats got a good chance.
(assuming you lower the RPD to 1 (6%) and the Energy Resist doesn't count because its inate from the shield type)
Getting ready too right now. Just finished harvesting some snake skin. I would like to put some DCI on it as well, but need fragments for that, and I am somewhat new to imbuing.Has anyone been able to test this? My concern was the number of mods.

YesSo any Boura can drop these?
