Name change for Shields of resistance

Shields with resistance and the shield of resistance are very annoying to differentiate. They sound more alike than they need to IMO. Also, Does anyone else feel like maybe shield of resistance is kind of a bland name for an unrandart...?

Although this is really just a minor complaint, it is also a pretty easy fix from what I can guess. I propose that we simply change the name from "shield of resistance" to "Iskunderuns mystic shield" or something like that, just to Make it a little easier to tell the difference.

If you guys think it's unnecessary then whateves, just thought it was really weird to have such similar names.

Re: Name change for Shields of resistance

I would rather change the name of the Shield of Resistance than change the name of "resistance" as an armor property (this is what it seems you're suggesting, but the thread topic says otherwise). But in the end, it does the same thing as a shield of resistance with a bit of extra kick, so it really isn't very confusing. This strikes me as a nonissue, personally.

It is only a problem sometimes when talking about the game, rather than in the game itself (as shown by your confusion over what Tiktacy was proposing, in fact).

Obviously the best solution is that we should all adopt the convention of writing +5 Shield of Resistance and +X shield of resistance. :)

I don't think using this color is a great idea if you're posting on this forum.
Unless you really, really like reading white text on an off-white background.

Reminds me of good old times when WebTiles chat had really transparent background and you had to select text if it was displaying over level map to be able to read it.

Re: Name change for Shields of resistance

This seems like a sensible suggestion. Unrands should get unrand-like names, "Shield of Resistance" sounds too generic.

Re: Name change for Shields of resistance

it is the shield of resistance which I think conveys well just how much it kicks the ass of any other shields of resistance that may exist.

Re: Name change for Shields of resistance

Shield of the Green Ninja Turtle. (because it's green in Tiles)

EDIT:
A more serious idea: Shield of the Spartans. (because they were badass and they used bronze shields (the shield of resistance is described as "a bronze shield"))

Re: Name change for Shields of resistance

Shield of the Alchemist. Because the Alchemist had two hats, one of which was reinforced with a metal frame (causing it to attract electricity and therefore lose it's rElec property) so that it could be held with the off-hand and used to block attacks.
