BS. 2 humanity is not surefire gain. Heck 10 humanity + Covetous Gold Serpent Ring/Symbol of Avarice is not enough to guarantee it.

They drop often compared to other weapons, but they are far from "surefire".

The shield itself is much rarer than the weapons themselves too, in my experience. Every different type of black knights can drop them, yet I've had less shields than any other weapon type.
