I've been trying to find a -4 shield for a while.

Armor: 16
Reduces physical damage by 2 (while enchanted)
Reduces physical damage by 2 (while in a stance)

I've seen such shields for sale from time to time, but the asking price is usually beyond a casual players means. So, I think this would be a good to have a generic looking shield from a collector or weaponsmith of Nightfall with these stats, and two better looking greens (one for strength and one for tactics).

Also, feel free to post any other items possible with current game mechanics, but missing from collectors or as greens.

Adding green versions wont help casual gamers as these will most likely start off at 100k+xx ecto.

Yes, but then the bottom will fall out and they'll hover around the 20K mark, just like all of the other green shields out there.

I love the idea, especially if inscriptions don't allow this mod to be transferred from shield to shield.

Personally, I think the 100k+xx ecto scene is one of the things horribly wrong with the current state of the game, as even things that originally were there as an alternative to pricey golds are now also out of the reach of the casual gamer, but further discussion on that could probably be another thread entirely. Thus, the OP also includes the option for boring skins from a collector or weaponsmith. I think that model worked great in factions, and would be good to extend it to other similar items.

True, but price will always depend on how easy the boss is to solo (if possible) and how easy that boss is to get to.

A collector with a shitty skin is good enough. Still waiting for them to add magmas shields to the green list its bound to happen.

I think we should really wait for inscriptions to see how they work. In the massive inscription thread I posted that there are 1051 different shields with dual mods. There are only green combinations for about 8 of those.
