Uniques/Armor/The Tortoise Creed

The Tortoise Creed is a piece of Demon Unique armor with no boss attached: any drop at Threat 18 or higher can turn out to be it, and at that Threat 0.6% of what falls comes up Unique. It is built on Masterwork Tortoiseshell Mail — step 5 of the Tortoiseshell Mail line, item level 60 and up.

It always rolls the same numbers: +75 Armor, +22 Ward, +75 Armor, +22 Ward, +30% Guard Power, +170 Ward and +190 Maximum Health.

On top of that it carries The Tortoise Creed — Your Special's wards are 50% thicker and last 30% longer, but you walk 6% slower (ward abilities only).

It is Adventure Mode loot.

“Slow is fine. Slow lasts.”
