Trivia

From version 3.0.0 to version 3.15.X, Shagreen Tower Shield (and the lower level variants BuckskinBuckskin Tower ShieldChance to Block: 26%
Armour: (177-209)
Movement Speed: -3%Requires Level 39, 96 Str+(10-20) to maximum Life and ) was able to achieve the highest block chance (37%) among shields by having certain affix. It is possible to achieve these values by utilizing the UnfailingUnfailing
Prefix
(31-36)% increased Armour
+3% Chance to Block prefix available to armour shields from ver 3.0 to 3.15, along with a (of the Essenceof the Essence
Suffix
+(7-8)% Chance to Block) providing an additional 8% suffix block totaling to 11% additional block chance. The previous record holder was legacy (36%).

However, Unfailing (and its T2 variant: ReliableReliable
Prefix
(25-30)% increased Armour
+2% Chance to Block) became legacy mod in version 3.16.0, while the essence mod of the Essenceof the Essence
Suffix
+(7-8)% Chance to Block no longer the highest block chance among shield (now of the Citadelof the Citadel
Suffix
+(14-15)% Chance to Block is the T1 block chance suffix, which has the value of (14-15)%), only the quasi-legacy Shagreen Tower Shield with Unfailing and of the Citadel would be the highest block chance shield (26%+3%+15%=44%). Otherwise, other shields that have higher base block chance (27%), plus of the Citadelof the Citadel
Suffix
+(14-15)% Chance to Block may have higher block chance (27%+15%=42%) than Shagreen Tower Shield (26%+15%=41%) in temporarily league.

This calculation does not take into account that item with scourge modifier (which can up to +(8-9)% Chance to Block Attack Damage), or item with synthesis implicit modifier (which can up to +(4-5)% Chance to Block Attack Damage), or item with the corruption implicit +(4-5)% Chance to Block, or item with conditional mod such as +#% chance to Block Attack Damage if there are at least 5 nearby Enemies, +#% Chance to Block Attack Damage if you have Blocked Attack Damage Recently as well as legacy suffix +#% Chance to Block Projectile Attack Damage.

The quasi-legacy Shagreen Tower Shield is dethroned by (48% chance), which is released in version 3.17.0. However, the quasi-legacy Shagreen Tower Shield remained the highest attack block rare shield in-game (if excluding player has successfully crafted a rare shield with matching synthesis / corruption / scourge modifier).
