Tips

It should be noted that the Upgraded version of this shield receives an Orb bonus which provides a +8 bonus to Saves and Elemental Resistances while actively blocking, which is not new to Orb users. However, Shield Bashes (both manually activated AND auto-procced from Bashing items, Improved Shield Bash feat, or the Bashing X included upon the shield itself) also will provide the character with the +8 Orb bonus to saves and elemental resistances for the duration of the bash, approximately 1 second.
