[QUOTE="Phazonfish, post: 7154011, member: 6855766"] Actually I meant you need a hand for the shield you are holding, not your Shield spell; I took into consideration your build might have Warcaster. I assumed Shield was being used because you included it in your list of factors increasing your AC. Personally I would pop Shield to prevent me from having to use Blur rather than the other way around because it doesn't take an action, uses smaller slots, and doesn't take concentration, but I can certainly understand the appeal of not wanting to use too many slots, even smaller ones, if a fight looks like it will drag out, especially give an eldritch knight's third caster quantity of spell slots. Honestly, I was not sure what your build's typically strategy is. I agree Mirror Image + Blur takes too many actions if your goal isn't "become as unhittable as possible" but I couldn't say for certain that it wasn't. Fair enough. I would assume if most of your levels are in a full casting class I would assume your concentration could be better spent elsewhere, but as I have said, multiclass gishes confound me. I wasn't saying that a shield strictly means a dex build, just that martial characters get a lot of power out of Sharpshooter, Great Weapon Master, and Sneak Attack, two of which require attacking with dex and the remaining one requiring a two-handed weapon.
