Parrying Shield deals 6 damage to an enemy at end of turn if you have 10+ Block. The 10-Block condition is easy to hit with a couple of Defends, but 6 damage back is far too small a reward. It contributes a little in Act 1 trash fights, but by late-Act and boss fights 6 damage is a rounding error. Defense-heavy decks trigger it every turn, but even with that, the accumulated damage is not enough to swing fights.

Frost orbs meet the condition easily, but damage per trigger is insufficient |

Minions already deal enough damage, making this relic's effect tiny |

Meeting the condition yields a return too small to matter in a fight |
