What a fabulous window treatment. – Adds bonus Explosive Damage to all Melee Attacks. This ability stays in effect, even when shields are totally depleted.

Curse of the Elementals! – Wearer takes increased damage from elemental sources.

Usage & Description

Notes

The explosive damage is equal to 40% of the character's base melee damage. Melee skills, relics, and weapon bonuses do not increase the shield's potency.

The 40% base melee damage trait does not extend to Deathtrap, when the shield is equipped to Deathtrap via the Sharing is Caring ability the explosive damage it adds to his melee is miniscule and has no real effect on his damage output.

Trivia

• The shield's flavor text, "What a fabulous window treatment," is quote from the movie In & Out. The movie's main character attempts to restore his heterosexuality by using a self-help cassette tape and is tricked by the above line.
