About the PR

#5600 fixed deployable shields from blocking damage when they shouldn't, but inadvertently disabled shields without toggles from working.

Why / Balance

Blockable damage should be blocked when the user has an item that could block the blockable damage for the purpose of blocking. Causing the user wielding the blocking item to take less blockable damage than they would have not blocked in the case where they were not blocking by using a blocking item.
