Talk:Paladin's Shield

Solo use?
The only bonus is the 6 defence and immunity to knockback on solo.
 * Are there any benefits to using this item without any team members, apart from the increase to defense? 192.249.1.149 18:29, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Is this item currently bugged right now? It's suppose to reduce damage by 25% but I've noticed that with it equipped and without it equipped I take the same amount of damage.  It also prevents knockback even though it's unlisted.  I'm wondering if somehow it's working like an obsidian shield or does the reduced damage only work when you have a teammate.
 * According to the current wiki definition, it doesn't reduce damage by 25%, but absorbs 25% of damage your teammates take and applies it to you. I'm assuming this means if you and a friend were playing on team Blue, and said friend got killed by the Dungeon Guardian, you'd take ~2500 damage, while they took ~7500.  This makes it useless for solo play, since you will always take 100% of your damage anyway. 130.245.216.155 10:06, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Obsidian Paladin's Shield
Paladin's Shield is a good item, but it make us Vulnerable against fire's block. Don't you think that using the tinkerer workshop with an obsidian skull would'nt be cool ?
 * there's the obsidian skull, obsidian shield, and the ankh shield 67.233.98.26 18:37, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Turtle Armor Synergy
Does the shield trigger Turtle Armor's Thorns effect on the mob that struck your teammate? 99.6.26.155 03:23, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Damage to ally, and multiple shields
Does this absorb 25% of the damage taken by an ally before or after THEIR defense is taken into account? If it's before, it could potentially mean that you cause them to take 1 damage from most places if they defense is good. Also, what happens in the event of there being multiple paladin shields on the same team? --MantaFirefly (talk) 09:47, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
