Affixes/Guard Power

Guard Power is a suffix that turns up on Head and Off Hand. It gives Guard Power: +5% to +7% at its lowest step, +59% to +67% at its best — and you need item level 116 before the best one can appear at all.

It comes up at weight 4 when the game rolls affixes, never doubles up with another affix that does the same job (guardPower), and it is what puts Guarding, Sheltering, Palisades, Battlements and the Unbroken in an item's name — so you might pick up a Wand of Guarding.

No Unique carries it at a fixed number.
