Ok has anyone used Thousand Teeth unique? Build?

I think people have been using for the skin but is there any punishment style play possible with this? The reflection has quite a curve to it so not sure on reliability. It's weird too because all the old shields have fixed value not range.

I googled, did not find any ideas.



I assume the phys relect is modified by physical damage nodes? What if you had something convert to cold another unique? Would it oonvert it? Would auras work with it? Will it reflect on a ranged mob if you block it? Finally what about with facebreakers? Would facebreakers add "more" damage to the reflect?

Plain logic says reflect damage must be affected by any IPD items, or nodes. As well by any phys to ele conversion (Hrimsorrow, Hatred). It's interesting if it;s affected by crit, either. Though, having in mind shield got no own crit chance, reflect more likely won't be affected.

But it may be just speculations and reflect damage is fixed and not able to be manipulated.
There's really no information about it.

Try it with block build with hatred, if trash mobs got chilled, it converts, if they got frozen, crit works either.

BTW shield looks very interesting at first glance, definitely better than CoP for a block build. Combined with tempest.

According to FB, it won't work for sure.

No reflect damage can't be scaled by anything which is why it isn't viable atm.
Shield is just good for a block build

Seems like a decent Necromantic Aegis choice.

I'll try to use it with necromantic aegis when new patch will hit. Looks like OK stats for them.

Not even "increased defences from shield" nodes?

Defences refers to Armour, Evasion and Energy Shield.

well that sucks.

combined with you can reflect about 750dmg to attackers on block wich isnt that bad

I was thinking about theory crafting one today specifically using this shield after it dropped for me this morning.

Shield + Anvil + Bramble Jack. Punishment + Tempest Shield as well. Maybe Molten shell?

Support Punihsment with Increased duration + Empower/Enlighten

Theorey wise: Max block so include Rainbow Strides for max Spell block too. Bramble Jack and Punishement to give between 79-95% melle physical damage back to attacker + 200-1000 physical damage from Teeth and Anvil on block?

Guess it one or the other as if you block then you dont reflect from Bramble Jack and punishment? I guess I have to take the hit first and not block it?

Maybe Magnate Belt also increases physical damage output? Stack block, life, resists and life regen as you won't have much armour. Helms you could go Leer cast for flat dmg reduction (dont think it affects the dmg reflected? Not sure?) Or MoM + EB + Mindspiral. This may also increase Tempest shield dmg?

I'm not good with numbers so not sure if it can work? But that was my basic ideas in a nutshell.
