After I started using it I loved that I got a comment from one of the guards - he said
"That shield... It looks dwarven made but... there's something different about it..."
I don't get how you can claim that quest is easy :/ Those
nearly onehit kill me with their
, it was so bad I eventually gave up on the quest, but perhaps I'll try again with my character who'd be able to use the shield.
Yeah I had the good luck of having the dragon priest mask which grants poison immunity. I only remembered I had it after getting killed twice. Its also when I realized I needed to have a little more health if I was going to try things on master difficulty with the skill-set I was using.
Also, has anyone else noticed that it seems to completely negate shouts used on you while blocking? Or is that just a shield thing? I just like that when I've fought a couple enemies with the disarm shout I didn't have to go run and find dawnbreaker. I do like that spellbreaker +dawnbreaker = dragon priest schmagon priest.
