Shield of Iron is a passive skill available exclusively to the Barbarian. It improves the Barbarian's blocking when he has a shield equipped.


Lore

Not known yet.


Design

Increases the chance to block attacks with a shield by 10%.


Classes

The Barbarian acquires this skill at level 31.


Synergies

No synergies with any active skills or other passive skills are known.


Development

Passive skills have had a long and storied history. When Diablo III debuted at the WWI 2008, skill trees included passive skills, much like in Diablo II. In 2010, it was announced that passive skills had been renamed traits and separated out from active skills. At the July 2011 Press Event, Blizzard announced that passive skills were once again in the game, replacing the traits system. Like many passive skills, Shield of Iron was moved directly from a trait of the same name when traits were changed back to passive skills in early 2011. Neither the name nor the function changed, though the stats may have been tweaked slightly.

See the traits page for more details on previous versions of this and many other passive skills.
