Affixes/Guard Power

Guard Power is a suffix that turns up on Off Hand, Relic and Armor. It gives Guard Power: +4% to +6% at its lowest step, +54% to +62% 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 Bracing, Shieldwork, Bulwarks, Ramparts and the Redoubt in an item's name — so you might pick up a Wand of Bracing.

8 Uniques lock it to a fixed number: The Shut Gate, The Watchman's Bell, The Whole Horizon, The Pocket Winter, The Night Shift and The Vigil Garden and 2 more.
