Turning Wrath into stuns

Sublime Conviction rewards the Crusader for entering combat with full Wrath: when you block an attack, you have a chance, scaled by your current Wrath, to briefly stun the attacker. The fuller your resource, the more often you lock enemies down, giving this shield a pleasant dual role of defense and crowd control.

The effect only works for the Crusader and harmonizes best with block-heavy, resource-rich setups that already fight on the front line. My tip: raise your block chance and deliberately keep your Wrath high, for instance through passive generators, so the stuns trigger reliably. That way you pin dangerous elite enemies in melee while your shield simultaneously absorbs part of the incoming hits.

How the chance comes together

The stun chance depends on two things: the shield's roll and your current Wrath. The roll sets the ceiling - between 15 and 20%; the example at 16% is on the low side, and a Primal Ancient brings 20%. You only reach that ceiling with full Wrath; with a half-empty bar, the chance drops accordingly. Every triggered stun lasts 1.5 seconds.

Built-in block chance

Helpfully, the shield itself carries a fixed +11% Chance to Block, so it supplies part of the blocks that trigger its own power. It also rolls a main stat at 626 to 750 points; for a Crusader, Strength is what counts.

Putting the stuns to work

Because the shield stuns regularly, it pairs well with items that react to stuns. Dovu Energy Trap extends the duration of Stun effects and, thanks to "Emanates", also works from your follower's neck; Haunt of Vaxo summons shadow clones when you stun an enemy.

The flavor text counsels calm: the forces of shadow act in foolish haste - maintain your focus, and you will defeat them with your righteous resolve.
