Tamruan Card isn't a bad card, if you're low budget. I love how everyone just looks at the Crusader/Paladin class and assume that each and everyone of them has an Aegis Shield and base their opinions all around it, which isn't the case all the time. Universally, its not bad, at all, especially for the early levels for building up your Grand Cross and using Shield skills. Best used with an upped Shield [1] or Stone Bucker since these are heavy shields that will compliment the added damage bonus Tamruan gives.
