Shields are an item class of armour equipment. They can contain up to 3 sockets and need to be equipped in the off-hand slot. All shields provide a chance to block attacks, and some also grant implicit modifiers. Like Body Armour, shields have an inherent 3% movement speed penalty.

When it collides with something it will shatter, launching a number of smaller shards as projectiles in all directions.

    , attack bonuses that only apply to the off hand will affect it, but not main hand bonuses.
  • Characters can only hold one shield at a time.
  • Characters can change shields with a weapon swap keybind.

Types of shields

There are 6 sub-types of shields:

  • 3 pure sub-types which have a single attribute requirement and provide an associated defense type.
  • 3 hybrid sub-types which have two attribute requirements and provide both of the associated defense types, although at a lower value than the pure counterpart.

Version history

Version Changes
3.16.0
  • 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.
  • Added the following new crafting bench modifiers:
Shields - Take no Extra damage from Bleed while Moving
  • Chance to Avoid all Elemental Status Ailments can now roll as a Suffix on all Shields (previously just Dexterity Shields).
  • The tier 1 Chance to Avoid all Elemental Status Ailments modifier can now grant up to 35% chance (previously 23%). Lower tier modifiers have been adjusted accordingly.
  • The “Moving while Bleeding doesn’t cause you to take extra Damage” modifier can no longer roll on Hunter Shields.
  • New Suffix modifiers have been added to all Armour-based Body Armour and Shields that provide up to +8% additional Physical Damage Reduction on each slot. Crafted modifiers have also been added.
  • New Suffix modifiers have also been added to all Evasion Armours that can roll modifiers that grant a chance to Suppress Spell Damage. Body Armours and Shields in particular can roll larger values of these modifiers.
  • Evasion/Energy Shield base type Shields that had a 2% chance to Dodge Attacks or Spells now have a 3% chance to Suppress Spell Damage. A Blessed Orb can be used on existing items to obtain this new value.
  • Evasion/Energy Shield base type Shields that had a 4% chance to Dodge Attacks or Spells now have a 5% chance to Suppress Spell Damage. A Blessed Orb can be used on existing items to obtain this new value.
  • The Suffix modifiers that grant Attack Block and Spell Block on Shields have been improved, and new tiers have been added. These now grant up to 16% Attack Block and 15% Spell Block respectively at the highest tier.
  • The Shaper Suffix modifier on Shields which granted chances to Block Spell Damage can no longer roll.
  • The Shaper and Hunter Influence Shield modifiers that previously granted 10/15% reduced Reservation of Socketed Gems now grants 15/20% increased Reservation Efficiency of Socketed Gems.
  • Remove irrelevant modifiers from Shields and add some really powerful ones. (read version 3.16.0 § Core Character Defences and Recovery for full text)
3.0.0
  • All shield has base defence adjusted
  • For full rationale, read version 3.0.0 § Item Balance
  • Added new mods for shields which are restricted to specific shield types based on their attribute requirements. These new mods grant: Increased Elemental Damage, Increased Physical Damage, Increased Armour and Block Chance, % of Maximum Life Regenerated per Second, Life gained on Block, Mana gained on Block, Chance to Dodge, Chance to Dodge Spells, Chance to Block Spells, Chance to avoid Ailments, Increased Attack and Cast Speed, Increased Attack Damage, Chance to Avoid Stun.
1.3.0
  • Block Chance of certain shields has been adjusted
0.9.3
  • Rebalanced all the shields to have an interesting progression. They all have different amounts of block chance, armour (or evasion, or energy shield) bonus, or implicit mods specific to each type of shield.
0.8.6
  • Shields have been nerfed slightly at higher levels, so the highest tier shield only gives a base 35% block chance.
0.8.0
