the truth of the matter is grim shields suck you pretty much can never find a good grim shield
defense is like the worst of the best mods in the game you can get and a grim shield is a defensed based shield so looking for its base is like looking for the weakest of the best shields and paying 100x for trash
not just that but 58 strength require is simply to high for any character to use
if you want an exeption to this rule stated above it generally only has an exeption for 1 type of shield generally speaking which would be like a paladin shield
if i had a
302 DEFENSE
17 FHR
30/20 BLOCK
20 COLD
50 LIGHTNING
20 FIRE
20 POSION
grim
or a
30/20
20 cold
45 lightning
20 fire
20 posion
bone shield
im going to use the bone shield, the only way i would use the grim shield, if i was like, leaching on a shield barb pvm leveling not using a 2hand weapon
but yeah, grim shields not really good for anything in the game other then some paladin play i think, there might be some sort of like weird no fhr- no-block +req str+ mana+ rep+ cr+ svs shield but thats a long shot and not really the standard
