A new feature in Torchlight II however is the shield's ability to provide 50% knockback resistance in addition to this Block chance.Įnemies also carry shields, which provide the chance to block and resist knockback as described above. Shields also convey a chance to block attacks, whereby the attack is completely negated, dealing no damage at all to the player character. While equipped, the shield provides additional points to the character's overall armor value, and conveys any special properties that it might have.
Shields are a defensive item in Torchlight II, similar to armor, but equipped in the left hand like a Weapon.
