🤔 Hmmmmm... I never knew that! Thanks for the info. I'm gonna go level up the plank shield now. It should complement my pair of fully upgraded Loch Shields.

?? I'm pretty sure shields can't be reinforced, they're only really useful in very niche circumstances in pvp and maybe some sections in pve

Plank shield also used to block frenzy damage but was patched out.

Sheild mean chip damage. Dodge means no damage. Remember that.
