Weapons & Equip Suggestion saturday : Small changes to the shackle

[the first prism]

All I saying is that this item should give 2-3 defence instead of one. However, it would also reduce movement speed by 15%. Also, its drop chance will be reduced to 0.75% from 2% as it can get 6/7 defence.
This would make the player carefully consider it as an accessory.

(there may be another thread like this. If so, tell me).

It makes sense, but the movement speed reduction is ridiculously severe. I also don't think there should be an item capable of giving you 7 defense that early in the game

I honestly think it's the purpose of the Shackle to be a near-useless item. Which fits for the early game.
I mean, It's a broken bit of cuffs that you've scavenged from someone who has died wearing it. why would it be considered special?

Currently the Shackle is already used as a material for mages, so I find that already enough attention given.

The shackles should stay as they are right now, as the reason why early game acessories are simple is because it I should the start of the game, and everything starts getting more complicated deeper in the game.

GGGGGGGIGGGGGGITTTTTY GET OUT OF @Huzbubber Tim 'S TURF!!! BREIF SUGGESTIONS ON SATURDAY TITLED AS SUCH! UNBELIVABLE! GO TO TUESDAY OR SOMETHING!

Overall, I'm not to big a fan of this suggestion, as Siamese kitten said, you dont think about the things you're putting on yet. You just wear what has big numbers because you're new. And 1 or 2 more defense to this accessory with a 15% speed cut will send everyone who knows what that is off with their shackle.

There's no reason for an already weak accessory to have a downside.
