Vanilla Unique Shields

Visceratuant: Restored Sorceress skill bonus to older version’s +2 Necromancer skills.

Trivia: I believe the name of this item is a Typo for French ‘viscere tuant’, which means ‘(human?) killing viscera’ or ‘viscera that kills’. However, some Mandarin community players believe it should be a typo of ‘visceratant’, I hope that English speaking players may tell me if I am correct or not 🙂

Radament’s Sphere: Added a summoning skill ‘Poison Elemental’.

Poison Elemental: To summon an elemental creature that sprays poison gas at enemies. Would cast vanilla ‘Poison Explosion’ on corpses and releases massive amount of poison gas when get killed.

Trivia: Both official Chinese versions had translated the name to a term similar as ‘Radament’s Orb (or Ball)’, and many Mandarin community players believe that the ‘Sphere’ should be explained as ‘area’, ‘region’ or ‘atmosphere’, but I prefer to keep the official translation that it might be Just an ‘orb’, or even a ‘ball’, no need to be overinterpreted.

Blackoak Shield: Dex bonus greatly increased, half freeze duration changed to cannot be frozen, ‘Weaken’ trigger chance increased to 10%.
Stormshield: Renamed to ‘Lachdanan’s Stormshield’.
Medusa’s Gaze: Replaced ‘Slows Target’ stat with ‘20% chance to cast “Stony Gaze” on get hit’.

Stony Gaze: A fan-shaped flash towards the attackers, fully petrifies all enemies within its range for 5 sec in Hell difficulty, then turned to partially petrifying, 20 sec in total. Champions and those cannot be frozen would only be partially petrified, which means greatly slowed but not completely frozen.

Spirit Ward: Switch CTC ‘Fade’ to Aura when equipped, no overlay beneath feet but still fading, can stack with Assassin’s Fade and does NOT conflict with ‘Burst of Speed’.
Spike Thorn: 2 sockets guaranteed.

Trinva: In official Chinese versions, its name had been translated to a term similar as ‘Source of Thorns’, which in my opinion is even a bit better than its English name.

Wall of the Eyeless: +1 to Necromancer skills, no ‘Nomad Spirit of Shields’ on it.
Lidless Wall: Since Blizzard declared it should be a Necromancer Item, no ‘Nomad Spirit of Shields’ on it. Diablo IV function added, grants ‘Bone Storm’ skill (Nec Only), and has a chance to cast ‘Bone Storm’ on melee strike.

Bone Storm (Casting Version): A ‘Blade Shield’ Logic skill that activates a state, dealing main hand damage to targets nearby, can trigger CTCs or other ‘on strike’ effects.

Bone Storm (CTC Version): Deploy a ‘Bone Storm’ missile at the triggering location, duration would be 10 sec, dealing main hand damage to targets nearby.
