This is a very odd case. I have 36 deck 5 armor pieces. 20 of them are Spell Ward Shield. In the past, I picked up 4 (I think), in PA scenarios. Now, I never pick one up.
I started testing my hypothesis by running deck 5 and deck 6 scenarios, specifically aiming to pick up armors. While I often get a deck 5 piece, I can never get the shield. I have picked up a good 20+ deck 5 pieces, to no avail.
Could there be a problem using a 20 count threshold. I don't know.
The odds on getting this result is so long against it, I doubt that this is just happenstance.
Here is an update on the shield not dropping.
Due to a crashing problem, I had deleted my parties. After that, the scenarios were all hard, but not legendary. So after some additional failed attempts, I played D6.1 to completion a couple times. Then I tried farming D6.1. Indeed, after a handful of attempts, I got the shield to drop.
I believe that all the conditions stated below may not cover everything. In this case (Spell Ward Shield), I believe that you won't get the drop until you play (or possibly complete) at legendary level. I have not seen any thread to support this, but my anecdotal evidence very strongly supports this analysis.
