Makes plenty of sense, this would enable creative builds using the current shields out there (and that are to come).
- May make some scope for a good Thorn's build, somehow utilise Tempest Shield more efficiently or people might actually use Spiked Shields?
- Allows people to focus on defense and the benefits that can be gained from shields (res, armour, es, eva, max res)
- Could create some sort of set-up to allow things to prox more often.
- May be able to utilise some spell dmg/crit dmg.
and there are plenty more ideas too.

Mhm, all the "scope of new creative builds" I see. Yes. I can see it. Dual Rise of the Phoenix, yes, RF spam, yes. So many creative builds with shield charge. Totally. Rathpith Globe, lol. Roflmao Prism Guardian. They are so obviously broken, that it makes me think that you are not aware of their existence :-V

Also, fighting with TWO SHIELD makes 0 sense. Using one heavy shield might make some sense (Facebreakers) but using two is just needless weight, that offers no defense, because you can't really block with both.

Amusing.

Independent polling suggests that the community wanted an amulet.

However, this poll appears to have been significantly biased by Ziggy's request for a belt.

Why bother going through this song and dance to project an image of community?

Independent polling? Don't joke...

Anyways, any intelligent person would have voted for belt, we're SEVERELY lacking in the unique belt category.

You've got an ES belt, a trapper belt, a gimmick belt (headhunter), a "general purpose" belt (doryani's)... a bunch of crap belts.... and that's it. That leaves a LOT of gaps for melee builds, crit builds, bow builds, etc. to get something interesting out of this.

Belt is also a slot that doesn't typically generate a lot of interesting rares, just resists/life and maybe weapon ele damage. Currently it's the most boring slot to gear up, we desperately need an interesting unique belt.

BTW didn't watch ziggy's video if these points are repeats of what he said, it's just common sense that a belt should be the one.
