Freeze of Deflection.

Freeze of Deflection is a legendary shield in Diablo 3 and 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.


Freeze of Deflection propertiesEdit

This item has a legendary affix that grants a small percent chance to freeze attackers when they are blocked successfully. This will lead to a regular supply of multiple frozen enemies in close proximity to a melee combatant.
