Really? Weird! If it's indeed the Red Deathknight, then my game really doesn't like giving me shields. Because I noticed that monster as being the only one never to drop anything at all, not even piles of gold. (Even if it had a higher level than me!!) Very weird. - But thanks for the info. Maybe I'll have better luck next time.
Hmm, after checking your shields and remembering those I found: is it simply impossible for shields to have more than one or two mods (other than blocking, armour, iniative and shield), and maybe charm-slots? That would explain why I couldn't find any "good" shields.
Btw, the character sheet doesn't say anything about blocking. How is it calculated? Just the amount of the shield + the amount I get from my blocking skill? And is it a percentage?
Another question concerning armour: I notice that during the first two acts I permanently have my equipment break: mainly my DK's bow and my Hero's armour. Lateron I never have to repair anything. Neither the bow nor the armour. I find that just plain weird.
