Troll Nests are the elite versions of Bone Shields. They offer the best defense out of any light shields in the game, and have fairly low strength requirements for elite gear. Their only downside is their maximum socket limit of 3, meaning that they cannot be made into the 4-rune runewords: Spirit and Phoenix. This is a significant drawback because Spirit in particular is one of the cheapest and most powerful runewords available.
