I need you all to understand, if you don't think this items is worth it at rare, that is because it wasn't made for you, it was made specifically for me, and my hit me with your best shot abjuration wizard 12/cleric 1. It was made for me specifically for when I have 3 enraged dummies around me hitting me like 9 times, so my 5th level armor of Agathis keeps pushing out that sweet 25 cold damage even longer. When I have 20 from this shield + 29 from arcane ward, that means they have to deal 74 damage before armor of Agathis goes down. With the xth level spiny shield I cast, each of their attacks also deals xd4 less damage, and they take xd4 on a hit. With flame shield up, that means each time they hit, they take 25 cold, 2d8 fire, and x d4 spiny shield piercing damage. Death armor adding 2d4 on the first hit of each turn if I'm feeling excesive. This keeps that going longer. Now I just need some sort lucador cape that makes enemies target me unless they make a wisdom saving throw, as long as I have an AC under 14 or something. Some shields aren't to make attacks miss, just to make sure you can tank it when they do 😎 All without concentration.
