Re: Pimp My Pretender
I think its basically a regular tower shield that casts shocking touch once per round if any enemies are in range.

Re: Pimp My Pretender
I was considering suggesting it, since you don't usually hear a lot about it

Re: Pimp My Pretender
Here I thought it was a lightning version of Charcoal Shield... it seems like a waste for 10 gems if it just zaps one guy once a turn.

Re: Pimp My Pretender
Damage output is much lower, yes, but if you need SR or are fighting things with fire resistance it looks a lot better.
There's a reason it's not the first choice shield though.

Re: Pimp My Pretender
It does have good defense/weight/protection overall, but I definitely wouldn't take it over even a lead shield in a lot of cases.
If it's supposed to be "very powerful" then it needs some kind of boost.

Re: Pimp My Pretender
Making it cast shockwave might be better but it could make it a bit too strong.

Re: Pimp My Pretender
I think it would, actually. If the area were reduced so that it just affected units adjacent to the person holding the shield, it would be ok.
