Pacifist
2 builds
Shackles gives massive HP regeneration which is crucial for surviving inside big enemy packs. The speed cap is manageable for Pacifist, who already plays slower and more defensively.
Masochist
1 build
Shackles adds HP Regeneration and Engineering on top of a large Range boost, which helps both melee and utility weapons. Speed being capped matters less for a thick frontliner like Masochist who plans to stand their ground and soak hits.
