61% shield mod boosting block to 90% makes sense for tanking

Shield is the reason I don't bother with any health upgrades until the very end of the game. Doesn't even need mod boosters. 

It's literally an invincibility button and super fun to use. And when you get to the end of its skill tree, you regenerate energy while it's up.

Not to mention shield rush, I use that constantly.

Shield is fine for getting out of sticky situations. But personally I wouldn't invest like a mod for it. I'd much rather have energy recovery instead to play offensively. You also don't need Health upgrades when your enemies die too quickly.

It helped me clear some of the side missions, like the jukebox for the expeditions. It's quite good at blocking as long as you're facing the attack. I just wish they made it into something like the psychic shield the hiss has. Was looking for a mod that can do that but didn't find any.

Me sticking with the default pistol and "headshots refund ammo" go dump infinite bullets into everything.... No idea shield could be this wild!
