"Centuries ago, the mysterious and morbid warrior Jekang found staunch allies among the crusaders of Zakarum. He fought alongside that order for many years, and when he left for lands unknown, he made a parting gift of his grim tower shield." -Rennold's Catalogue of Arms

Jekangbord

This Crusader shield turns Blessed Shield into a devastating bouncing throw: the projectile ricochets onto multiple enemies while dealing massively more damage. A solid single-target ability becomes a sweeping damage engine.

For the Crusader this shield is the heart of Blessed Shield builds that shred whole packs with the bouncing shield, often alongside set bonuses that amplify each hit further. The shield rewards dense clusters of enemies, since every extra bounce target means more total damage. Practical tip: pull foes together as tightly as possible before you throw, so the projectile reaches its maximum number of bounces, and stack attack speed to send out the throws in rapid succession.

More bounces, more damage

Without Jekangbord, Blessed Shield bounces to 3 nearby enemies; the power adds 6 additional ricochets and raises the damage by 300–400%. The skill costs 20 Wrath, deals 430% weapon damage as Holy and also converts 250% of your shield's block chance into Holy damage - so Jekangbord contributes to the damage beyond its power alone. A roll near the 400% end is the key quality marker here.

Runes: what fits and what doesn't

  • Shattering Throw: on each hit the shield splits into 3 fragments dealing 170% weapon damage as Holy.
  • Combust: 33% chance to explode for 310% as Fire within 10 yards.
  • Divine Aegis: each hit grants 5% more Armor and Life regeneration for 4 seconds.
  • Staggering Shield: a chance to Stun for 2 seconds.
  • Piercing Shield removes the bouncing altogether, which runs against the whole idea of a shield whose power is built on ricochets.

Properties and companions

The random roll is a primary attribute at 626–750 - take Strength. Other sought-after stats are Critical Hit Chance, Cooldown Reduction, Blessed Shield Damage, Area Damage, Physical Resistance and Chance on Hit: Fear. The shield is often combined with Leoric's Crown, Pauldrons of the Skeleton King, Akkhan's Manacles, Blackthorne's Jousting Mail, Squirt's Necklace and Convention of Elements.

According to Rennold's Catalogue of Arms, the mysterious warrior Jekang left this grim tower shield to the crusaders of Zakarum as a parting gift before departing for lands unknown.
