I just loaded up the game and the shield was fine, I think it's when you have a different weapon set on that doesn't have the shield on that it turns into a worn sword, so for anyone else that's having this issue when you save and quit just make sure the shield is equipped when you do.

I just want to let you know that whenever there is an update the shield turns into a worn sword and I need to buy another one and there not exactly cheap to replace. I know there's nothing you can do about it but just wanted to put this here.

I've sent my suggestions to the developer, for now modding interface is too limited to do smth decent in that regard. Would love to see a deathknight as well)

it would be really cool to see what you could do! i dont have mobility on my deathknight, but i have 2 companions that help! i wish i could summon the wraiths in the poision dungon, they gave me a fight :D

I'm not sure a deathknight is viable, minions just get destroyed too quickly by aoes unless you go all-in into offensive stats (which buffs their hp to okayish values). That means 4 INT, and with 3 STR required to wear heavy armor that leaves you with a choice between helpless minions or pitiful mobility.

Another problem is the inability (for now) to create set bonuses or unique modifiers. Skull mask and necromancer set reduce mana requirements for skeletons from 19% with mastery to 12% (max skeletons 5->8). I could make 5 separate heavy armor pieces with some melee and 200% dark magic each, but not sure that'd help.

could you do the same for a necromancer/deathknight build?
