Resonating Shield Question

[Q1]

There's a unique shield, feathered targe or something like that, has decent stats and resists... but critically lets you move at full speed while blocking

It's not a particularly good shield shield wise mind you, but it also lets you move full speed while using Resonating Shield, so for the purposes of building up rage and armor break(?) it can be handy to move at full speed.

Is there any downside to this that I'm not thinking of?

Resonating Shield gains damage based on your shields armor value. That unique shield has pretty much no armor.
Thats the only downside I can think of. Not a big deal if you don't care about the damage.

I suppose it will do until I either find a really good shield but the ability to move around at full speed is mighty enticing and I think even with a good shield it's not a high damage source

Yeah you're probably right, not a big damage source.

The move speed does sound really nice tbh.
This is what I been using. Something to consider if you're interested.

Intimidate is a debuff that inflicts 10% increased damage taken and 10% reduced damage dealt.
Rest of the stats suck however.

My Raise Shield auto swaps to this shield and I just briefly raise my shield while waiting for Hammer of the Gods to land.
But I think i'm going to try Resonating Shield instead of Raise Shield. I actually didn't know that skill counted as your shield being raised until you mentioned it.
