Wearing each five parts of the set (including the shield) provides the set effect Linza's Disgrace, which provides a 1/8 chance to counterattack when struck in combat, dealing 500-800 reflection damage to the target that hit you. This can stack with the Deathtouch bracelet, and the two effects may activate on the same hit. Augmented pieces will correlate to their unaugmented parts for the set effect.
Your current drain rate for a tier 80 off-handed weapon is given by the following table. It depends on your current reduction researched, the item level, and Efficient/Enhanced Efficient perk presence.
The Augmented Linza's shield can be levelled up by using it. The equipment experience required for each level and the effect of disassembly is as follows:
