Wand of transfusion - Lemmy.World

I read a lot of people saying this wand is great but cannot work out how to make it fit into any of my runs. I was just wondering if any of the WoT fans out there are able to give me a breakdown of how this works for them?

WoT is my favorite wand. With battlemage ability you can make challenge runs trivial (as long as you keep a non undead enemy alive haha).

Gives a huge 60+ shield every 1.66 turns with speed augment staff.

Forgive my naivety but how do you get a 60 shield that quickly? I thought the shield it gave was super low or does it go up massively with SoU

If you can get a +10 staff of transfusion by the time you get your subclass is when you get the big shield.

It gives 2 x (5 + level) shield so 30 base… but empowered strike talent buffs this by 150%!!

So you get a 75 shield in the caves!

I think at least haha…
