[[Coven's Criterion]] is a [[legendary shield]] found only in Reaper of Souls. This item can be found and equipped by any class, though shields are used mostly by Crusaders (around 80%), occasionally by Barbarians and Monks, and almost never by Wizards, Witch Doctors, and Demon Hunters.

The [[Smart Drop]] system ensures that this shield will usually roll with the [[mainstat]] appropriate to the class that finds it. Shields do not roll with +skill bonuses as random primary affixes.
