Ali Baba's Wee Booties + Tide Turner - IS IT STACK/GOOD/WORTH?
Does those items stack? And is it worth to use them. Or it's more worth to use only Tide Turner/Booties? Please tell me, I'm completing the demoknight set.

It's worth it if you think the extra HP will help. It won't improve your turning since the Turner already handles that.

What about other shields, which is best?
Charge: Charge goes in a relatively straight line. Better resistances.

TT: Can turn while charging. Less resistances.

SS: Crap, from my understanding of it, unless I'm wrong.

Targe for defense, Screen for offense, Turner for mobility

I think the Targe is the "least good" shield for Knighting, because you generally want to make it quick and get out of there after a kill, which the Targe doesn't promote. But it makes up for its downsides by buffing your resistances, which will help when fighting at melee range.

There might also be times when you wouldn't want to equip the Screen, like if you're running Half-Zatoichi and don't want to accidentally kill your target with the bash before you can melee them.

Screen buffs your bash impact damage, which means you can melee them quicker in less strikes. It also recharges your bashing ability quicker so you can bash more often. And then it has some light resistances which is always better than nothing.

Plus after the recent buff, it has more resistance than the Tide Turner. So it is alot better than nothing.

Yah, I think if you are using shoes, the Splendid Screen is overall better than the Tide Turner.

Personally, I use the Screen for full Demoknight and alternate between Targe and Turner for hybrid-knight depending on whether I need resistances or mobility.
