Stout Shield

Just use one vanguard, you'll get the same effect
seriously, creeps will hardly ever hurt you

did stack 5 stout shield?
did stack 2 vanuard 2 poor man's shield and 2 stout shields??
xD xD
no creepdamage taken

can someone give info on how this item stacks with another stout shield

THIS ITEM ROCKS!!

@66: The item just changed from 40% for 30 damage to 60% for 20. A block from this used to give 0 damage from creeps. 2 stouts was a 64% chance to ignore creep damage.

40% chance to block 30 dmg ? i taught it was 60% chance to block 20
help!!!!!!!!

pls teach me how to calculate

Thats all crap! You just a 60% chance to prevent 20 damage being blocked onto you, and dont bother getting two of these: Its not worth it!

could someone explain mathematically how stout shields stack? its 60% chances to block 20 dmg (10 for ranged) so idk where ppl are getting 40% to take 30 less dmg and 60% to take normal wtf ..

LoL the icon is soo damn sexy!

i would recommend getting just 1 of this for any hero for it would increase the chance of survival by a lot

Tidehunter + lvl 4 kraken shell = you also already take no damage from creeps. Do not get this or a vanguard for tidehunter, its basically worthless, infact this item is the most worthless on Tidehunter than any other hero in the game

Tidehunter + 2x Stout shield/Vanguard + lvl 3/4 kraken's shell = killing as many creeps as you want and take no dmg.

2 of these on AXE at the start can result with first blood

Thanks to those who posted the correct math.

This item rules on other heroes too, not just Axe (on Axe it is best though). It can really help you if you're being harassed. Someone earlyier said it's useless because early game you get killed by nukes. WRONG. you get harassed to 1/3-1/4 hp THEN die from the nuke.

Stout shield is great on lots of meele heroes (not Tide though, as was said).

this is good for blocking damage. the tower cannt get huge damage.

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