Necromantic Aegis is a keystone passive skill that removes all bonuses provided by modifiers on equipped shields from the character and imparts those bonuses onto minions instead.

Specifics

The character will no longer benefit from any modifiers on equipped shields including implicit modifiers and explicit modifiers, local defences such as armour rating, and chance to block, and will instead apply these stats to minions.

The player character is still considered as holding a shield and will be affected by the hidden movement speed penalty based on the shield's basetype. The buff from Tempest ShieldTempest ShieldSpell, Lightning, Chaining

Passive skills that increase stats from shields (e.g. #% increased Energy Shield from Equipped Shield will have no effect. Passive skills that provide a bonus while holding a shield, such as the elemental resistances granted by Sanctuary, will still benefit the character.

Increased Rarity of Items found and Increased Quantity of Items found on shields only have an effect when applied to the player, and these bonuses will be rendered useless if granted to minions.

Gems and Abyssal Jewels socketed in equipped shields are still usable and are not inherited by minions.

Most Crucible Passives work with Necromantic Aegis. Crucible Passives that allocate notable passive skills have no effect as minions do not have access to your passive tree.
