This item sux

2 By phyro_23 2006-12-09

This item is very good. You can turn it into a vanguard.

3 By lupeman 2007-01-09

vanguard is much better, but i wouldnt advise buyin this and then go fightin

4 By Matijn 2007-02-08

If u have 2 of these, would that be like a 60% (2 x 30%, is diffent)?.

5 By Capwn33 2007-04-08

Yes majtin, except, its 40% to block 30 dmg, but yea you buy 3 w/ axe, run in the lane back door style, dont take much damage, and counter helix all @ level 1, uber nub strat, I love it.

6 By windsskydiver 2007-04-08

YAh!!This is a nice item you can make it a vanguard if you have enough money????

7 By lupeman 2007-04-08

i wouldnt suggest backdoorin at lvl 1.... those towers will kill u. i love backdooring but people hate it so much and then start calln me a n00b, but my team always ends up winnin. u usually see me with a score of like 2-4 cos im usually busy destroyin buildins and tryin to get creeps to invade their base asap.

8 By hiromico 2007-04-14

good if you buy this 1st... very helpful for melee vs. ranged situations

9 By eyefury 2007-04-23

not really that helpful early game since nukes not physical attacks kill you early game

10 By vi_pre_ash 2007-04-28

use to make vanguard. hehehehe

11 By I.C.O 2007-05-08

it sucks only 30 damage!!! at least you can turn it to vanguard

12 By chimezone21 2007-06-11

hmmm... i like to buy 3 with axe and go neutral creeping if my team says its okay. then, after a few levels, i usually poke my little head out and play in lanes

13 By curs3d 2007-08-15

does more than 1 of these stack together i.e will i get 60 % chances or 30 - 30 % different chances hope u get my question

14 By curs3d 2007-08-16

???

15 By EvilLordDarthVader 2007-08-22

I would prefer that there is one more recipe (with p. cloak or so) but vanguard is still G-O-O-D.

16 By Qusteka 2007-08-30

Try to get 5 of these and boots with axe then buy 2 vanguards and keep the rest as long as possible you will seemingly get NO damage...

17 By hymth 2007-09-28

Does block spell damages?

18 By chris_8742 2007-10-15

25 By thomasnapier 2007-10-24

im not afraid to admit but i am a noob at this whee can you buy this item

26 By lupeman 2007-10-25

chris, vanguard gives near invulnerability to enemy creeps and techies at low level.

LauPnOhJ05, u can stack 6 of these, but only the chance to block will increase, not u can handle more damage

thomasnapier, at "Beazel The Weapons Dealer" (the guy)

27 By chris_8742 2007-10-27

wat a waist of money unless vanguard

28 By chris_8742 2007-10-27

@Matijn: they have more percent.
CHANCES
Format:Only(number)activates,so if its 2, then its only if 2 activates,not 0 or 1.
Chance0activates:20%
Chance1activates:64%
Chance2activates:16%
SEE NOW? POWA OF MATH
And all of u pplz out there who say this is sucky, pros get sucky items, so noobs get good items, which means ur all noobs

I get 2 with axe=2vannies later and 1 with ursa =1 vannie later

31 By ladyzman123 2007-11-07

34 By NIkoKaljo 2007-11-11

haha

35 By AXCELACCEL 2007-11-13

this can create 1 item only and its vanguard, hope that this item will be used in the next item series

36 By vengeful spirit 2007-12-14

Can axe equip 4 or more of this?

37 By gellato 2008-01-04

good with the fragile spectre in early game then turn it into a vanguard, a good combo with her dispersion.

38 By -random 2008-01-15

lolz i dont want to take anyone's side but I your being pretty mean to him, and with all that trash talking there might be a timeban waiting for you :/ Just my opnion

39 By taehwani86 2008-03-16

lol

ladyzman123 and chris 8742... thanks for the hilarious entertainment.

Yes, I cracked up twice...

First time reading chris' gr.3 level posting, and his "I don't auto attack" ... lol

dude, sorry but u deserved the bashing from ladyzman123...

besides, even stout shields can be useful on its own. Then again, anything can be useful (up to certain point in the game).

Still, "I don't auto attack" cracked me up

I guess chris always a+left-click, a+left-click .... lol

40 By sfsy1 2008-04-05

chris is noob, lol. using hotkey and not auto-attacking doesnt make u pro :/.
Its funny that u call this item noob! Its so worth. Geting one of this reduce the effect of harrassing by a lot. Suits most chases like Motred, slardar , spectre etc..

41 By zooyork_sk8r 2008-04-15

r u serious?...this item pwns...beginning of game get 2 for axe...go tower skip...first blood ur opponent...NOOBS

42 By ForcesPolaris 2008-04-15

I like to think of this as a miniature butterffly which will take heat off of you..Vanguard FTW after

43 By taehwani86 2008-06-11

Stout shield is awesome EARLY (especially for axe...or more like the shield was "designed" for axe).
I usually random in 5v5 games so I only get enough gold for 2 shields and some tangos, but this is usually enough to take down a tower in < 3min (tried and proved.. but enemy is melee and u have an ally hitting tower). Just sneak between the first two towers and intercept creeps. The shield does a great job keeping you alive. Then you get a vanguard later of course :p

44 By yuanchen 2008-07-14

i get it for early then in mid where my str heroes have high health poof it goes

45 By yip 2008-07-18

1 stout shield is useless - barely prevents anything

getting 2 is getting u results - with axe get at least two b4 going psycho!!!!

46 By chombie 2008-08-18

Good item for axe because it stacks with itself and can be turned into Vanguard.

47 By razz 2008-08-28

if 3 stout shields wat % of 100 damage is blocked ???

48 By razz 2008-08-28

if 3 stout shields wat % of 100 damage is blocked ???

49 By razz 2008-08-28

if 3 stout shields wat % of 100 damage is blocked ???

50 By rhalnz 2008-08-29

Never buy this or vanguard on Tidehunter .... although will work, but he doesn't need it!! ... Tide never gets damaged by creeps when cracken shell is level 4 .... never

51 By mynameisadam 2008-09-03

Damage blocking items/skills are checked in reverse order of acquisition. Only one can trigger per instance
-----
Sample cases:
1 Stout Shield
40% chance to take 30 less damage
60% chance to take normal damage

2 Stout Shields
64% chance to take 30 less damage
36% chance to take normal damage
*Unlike other stacking items, you do not get a chance for a double effect, since only one source will ever trigger.

52 By ray9300 2008-09-25

This will help alot if u already have a vanguard.

53 By ruakidder 2008-10-08

i think u should jaz buy 2 cuz that's like 80% ryt...? so when u buy three of these u only get 30% block on the third...so jaz buy 2

54 By UrsaW 2008-10-21

how to calculate:
1 Stout Shield
40% chance to take 30 less damage
60% chance to take normal damage
=> 2 Stout Shields
64% chance to take 30 less damage
36% chance to take normal damage

55 By SteliosrulezGR 2008-11-18

3 stout shields :
21.6 % to take normal damage
78.4% to take 30 less damage
:D
