A shield with 2 inherent mods has always been a dual mod or dual inherent shield.

You're probably mistaking the term "dual inherent" with "dual inscription".



Ofcourse it's not possible. Since the 2004 beta the item generation algorithms has a built-in protection code which prevents ANY items from spawning with more than 1 mod from the same "mod class". (one exception is the dual reduction shields but they were possible only because the -2 in stance mod was considered a separate "mod class" containing just itself).
EVEN the "bugged" triple modded shields from Mausoleum were generated by the same code and had to pass through the protection - that code prevented the generation of items which would be really gamebreaking (dual health shields, or dual hsr wands, things like that).



Dual mod shields can have ANY combination of 2 mods selected from different 2 of those mod classes:

• +Health Mods
• +Armor Mods
• -Dmg Reduction Mods
• -Condition time reduction Mods
• +1 of a specific Attribute Mods

For shields dropped in the first ~9 months after release there were 2 Dmg Reduction Mods classes:

• -Dmg Reduction Mods (while Enchanted, while Hexed, Chance xx%)
• -Dmg Reduction Mods (while in a Stance)

Hope it's easy to understand
