Shield

Shields offer additional defenses and a chance to block. Only one shield may be equipped at a time, in the offhand slot.

Shields and Body Armours have inherent Movement Speed penalties. In general, all STR Shields come with an '6% reduced Movement Speed' penalty and all other Shields have a '3% reduced Movement Speed' penalty.

Tower shields

Tower shields require Strength to equip and provide the player with a large boost to Armour Rating.

Version history

Version	Changes
3.16.0	Remove irrelevant modifiers from Shields and add some really powerful ones. (See version 3.16.0 § Core Character Defences and Recovery section for full list.) Base Types are now generated with a random 0-15% (on average) higher base defence, as an inbuilt property. This means that all base types can be better than they currently are, and armour base types are not homogeneous any more. Brass Spirit Shield now has 35-40 Energy Shield (up from 33). Existing items are also affected by these changes by receiving the lowest roll, and can be rerolled by using a Sacred OrbSacred OrbStack Size: 10Randomises the numeric values of base defences on an armourRight click this item then left click an armour to apply it.. [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]

3.16.0	Now has 186-208 armour rating (up from 186), 38-43 energy shield (up from 36) [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
3.0.0	Energy Shield as a defensive mechanic has undergone a review and, generally speaking, all sources of Energy Shield on items have been reduced by approximately 20%. All local Energy Shield modifiers on items, as well as the base Energy Shield of items, have been reduced at higher levels. Very low-level items will see a slight increase or no change, scaling up to a 33% reduction at the highest tier of modifiers. Because of Armour/Energy Shield and Evasion/Energy Shield equipment, we've had to apply this change to the local percentage modifiers on all other armour types as well. To compensate, all inherent values of base Armour and Evasion Rating on equipment are now greater at higher item levels. These changes will not apply to existing modifiers but will apply to existing base types. As a consequence, the Energy Shield values on many unique items have also been updated. Now has 186 armour rating (up from 162), 36 energy shield (down from 47) [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
1.3.0	Shields have had their base block chances rebalanced. Most of the higher base block chances on Shields have been reduced. Other reductions were also performed on Uniques items and the Passive Skill Tree. This change was made because reaching the maximum block chance of 75% had become much easier than we intended. It was far too efficient a defence at higher levels. Players will still be able to reach high block chance values, but this will now require much greater investment. All shields have had their block chance reduced. Branded Kite Shield's Block Chance has been reduced from 26% to 24%. [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources.

3.0.0	Energy Shield as a defensive mechanic has undergone a review and, generally speaking, all sources of Energy Shield on items have been reduced by approximately 20%.

To compensate, all inherent values of base Armour and Evasion Rating on equipment are now greater at higher item levels. (See version 3.0.0 § Item Balance for full text) Alder Spiked Shield now has 209 evasion rating (up from 182) and 41 energy shield (down from 53). Existing items also affected by these changes.
