I have been experimenting with this on a new character for fun. The idea is a squishy all light armor toon for PvE solo content already has plenty DPS, but can lack defense. Shields take a spot and I would rather have utility. I am running Torugs + Infused + CP in Bastion. It seems to make a regular shield and it seems to be helping level my Makicka NB. I can't tell if Torugs is really reducing the cooldown though. The various damage meters I use don't show shields at all or procs of Hardening so I can't tell scientifically what is contributing to the shield uptime, proc time and strength. If the shield can be up 5 seconds and the cooldown is reduced enough isn't is possible to have the shield up all the time? On a lightening staff is it only the first hit that procs it? I see that wall of elements procs it... is it only on the first tick?

And I *know* it is probably considered the most useless of enchants, but it is fun so far.
