Shiny Prizes

Nah, I see a comparable shield for around 2 million on the hc gah, and also in the sc one. 3 Million is about right, though maybe you could have set a 4 mil buyout.

The stats look good on the shield and the socket is appealing, but it's not really a high end shield. In reality it's just a 200 INT shield with good block and some cold resist. (Or 160ish int/some vit) if you socket a amethyst. If you were looking to maximize your damage, you would wear this shield, but I'd imagine it's less appealing in hardcore. And even if you were, you'd be eyeing critical hit chance anyways. It lacks the traits of the godly items, (high vit and all resist, crit hit) so it falls short.

Fortunately, this shield still maintains a niche use and has a greater chance to sell higher than the "jack of all trades, master of nothing" items but are also more likely to go unsold.
