Sephy
Yes it is.
clark_wilson
Yes it is new, the max is 20%.
Jammy
Wow, -5 20% chance, where do you get these?
Tsunami Rain
Doesn't seem very new...However, the chances of getting nice stats like that is VERY rare 
--edit--
someone was selling a -5 15% earlier today so idk maybe it is.
--edit--
on second thought never mind it wasnt req10 though

It is new, part of the recent updates. They also made a +30 health, -5 20% shield for PvP. So think of getting a +45(anything), -5 damage 20% shield that had req 10 or less. Amazing. . .
Jammy
Wow...that sounds awesome. gotta get me 1 of them

Its not awesome, its 20% which is the equivalent of -1 stance/enchanted and theres chances it might work less or more than the % but over all it really isnt worth it, there nothing great
deuz machina
i have a +56 while hexed shadow shield, not bad, too bad it's req11
Skuld
has crappy -1/-2 (2-10% chance) ones been removed from the game?
LifeInfusion
Now -2/-2 is not the best shield anymore. 
Lord Iowerth
Yep, Skuld ...
<-- is unfortunately still sporting a gold skeleton shield -2 stance -3 chance 9%
And of course I have the obligatory crimson carapace shield as well (for function > fashion)

It's a -1 constant over the course of a battle. I'd prefer the conditional to that to be honest.

Regardless, they need to update the while hexed Crimson Carapace to match the pvp stats.
Manic Smile
yes plz ^
and yes I think I'd prefer
-2(stance) -5(20%)

-2 damage (In stance) and -5 damage (20%) on the same shield would be godly.

I need to get one of those +60 while hexed shield for running southern shiverpeaks. They may have nerfed Lietenants helm and holy viel, but at least they added this to help ease the pain.

By saying +45(anything) I was referring to the good style ones, such as Enchanted and Stance, while Hexed is terrible.

At 20%, you have a 1/5 chance of taking 5 less damage, whereas with a -2 in stance/enchanted shield, you will take a total -10 damage from 5 attacks.
It's good if you get it tagged to another damage reduction mod.

It's worse than the conditional -damage reduction, and Victo's Bulwark / a -2/-2 is still the best shield depending on your purposes. However, a lot of players are terrible at math and *love* procs, so I'm sure this is going to be popular.

ohhh the number of possible stat combinations on random gold/purple shield has been improved greatly. mb this is the answer to the extremely high demand for -2/-2 shields, but lots of warrior builds're going to benefit from the change...
and of cos maxed new shield (-5/20%) is going to cost alot

Any1 who used a caster with a 20/20 or just 20% (recharge or cast) knows how this works.
So... plain and simple. Regrding the post that stated that the -5 (20% chance) gives an average of -1 / hit is wrong.
You can get 0 average reduction in 5 hits, but you can get -25 if you're lucky. Now, if you extend it to 100 hits or 1000 hits, you might get the -1 average

If you dont use enchantments or stances then you're left with the hexed shield as your best option. Now, almost every good warrior uses stances.... but there's also a use for having that extra 60HP for when you're hexed. I sure dont need to have extra HP whenever I'm in stance. I mostly get hexed to death as a warrior so that +60 is a bit of a help.
Just because you don't have a use for it doesnt mean others dont have a use for it. Such narrow minded thinking you have.

So it is right that you can expect -1 damage reduction per hit on average if you divide the per hits with the damage reduced

If you don't use a stance or enchantment just take an unconditional shield. Only time I'd use a while hexed shield is if I was playing PvE and was choosing the mobs I'm fighting very carefully. It's kinda interesting as a shield to swap to but certainly not as a main.
