Max dexterity bonus on tower shields question

[Diyon]

Is there anyway to increase it? More specifically, on a pure druid? I have a melee wolf build I'm working on that's going shadow dancer, so I'll have a potential of 7% dodge without any gear for it, but probably not more than that. I'll have both shield mastery feats, and am trying to figure out if I should drop using tower shields (can umd master's touch). Currently using an alchemical at lvl13 right now, just trying to think ahead.

You could take Dodge + Mobility for +2 MDB; and you can craft a tower shield with Greater Nimbleness (+2 MDB). That'd be 6 MDB total.

i know you said pure druid - but throwing it out there -

fighter splash gives you tower shield pro - feat and slightly more hp

and with enhance you also get max dex bonus raised

Didn't think about dodge and mobility, but that just complicates the problem as it adds more dodge too, also, really really tight on feats. Crafting isn't really a great option for this in end game IMO (especially since there are no high tier AML tower shields in wood).

I'm aware, but I'm already planning a fighter splash one. I was just trying to make sure there wasn't a way to make tower shields work for this build at later lvls before I start building for heavy shields.

not sure if this would work - but go with the belt from crucible? i know it works with armor- not sure about shields
