Using shields..

Hello,
I am new to the game , about 5 weeks now. Currently at level 47 death wizard.
I have been enjoying the game a great deal , my biggest obstacle right now is creating the best deck and clothing before each battle. 99% of the time , I am fighting bosses alone. So I try to prepare the best I can.
I like to use shields , lots of them. One problem for me is when I am fighting 2 or more bosses at once. For example yesterday I was fighting two storm bosses , I had two -85% shields up. When the first boss hit me , he used both of the shields. took -85% , then took another -85% of what was left. Then it was the second storm boss's turn , and I got hit hard.
This doesn't happen all the time. Occasionally I can run multiple of the same shields and a boss will only take one in a round. but sometimes he takes two.
What causes this and how can I prevent it ? I am wondering if it might be that I am using a shield card from my deck , and maybe a shield card of the same that came from an amulet? Not sure if this is happening or not.

I've had the same problem before but in pvp. Sometimes a single attack will use 2 of my tower shields.(no, one is not a treasure, both are exactly the same) But its very rare its only happened to me about 2 or 3 times.
