Uniques/Off Hand/The Night Shift

The Night Shift is a Demon Unique kite shield with no boss attached: it drops anywhere in Nightmare, most often from N3 up (rarer below that home difficulty, never above it), and nowhere else. Every copy is item level 100, and there 0.3% of what falls comes up Unique. It is built on Sovereign Warden's Kite Shield — step 6 of the Warden's Kite Shield line, item level 80 and up.

It always rolls the same numbers: +52 Armor, +36 Ward, +40 Magic Defense, +51 Armor, +36 Ward, +50% Guard Power, +594 Ward and +26% Cooldown Recovery.

One Unique drop in 40 is a Mythical copy: the same item carrying 15–25% Mythical Energy that boosts every stat on it and can never be changed; the 15% floor is 10 times as common as the perfect 25%.

On top of that it carries The Night Shift — Bastion Field lasts twice as long, but wards 40% less.

Wearing it hands you Bastion Field.

“Nobody relieves you. Nobody needs to.”
