Edwin (our proper writer) has gone over and changed and improved a lot of the flavour texts. He too complained about the clunky rhyming, which I have to confess I might responsible for... This should get into the game with the big open beta patch.

that shield seems really interesting, until you see the level requirement.

68? what the balls? it is not only a fairly bad shield in terms of stats (though it does have good resists for those who desperately need them enough to sacrifice everything else a shield offers), but it is basically unique to one, maybe two builds in the entire game.

and you can't use it til 68?

if it had the exact stats it does now but required 46-50ish it might see use, but once again PoE's uniques have an odd tendency to have one drawback that just completely obliterates anyone's hopes of ever using the item for anything outside of 'hey this is neat but awful' experiments.

its like if rain of arrows required 31 and was just as useless as it is now, but even more difficult to even use due to a wierd and unnecessary restriction.
