Wall of Bone

Wall of Bone

This shield's special power is purely defensive: when you are hit, there is a chance you become surrounded by a bone shield. This extra barrier absorbs damage and buys you breathing room in hectic moments without spending a skill on it. Together with Vitality and all-resistance, that makes the shield a solid pick for class-agnostic survival.

Because the effect is not bound to any class, Wall of Bone suits any hero who already carries a shield and values added toughness, for example in higher Greater Rifts. Practical tip: the effect only triggers when you take a hit, so it thrives on melee or on letting enemies reach you. If you play very defensively and avoid every blow, the wall procs rarely, in which case a more offensive shield serves you better.
