Shield Lore
Increases the total Defense Value of characters when a shield is equipped. Grants the ability to use higher-level shields without attack speed penalty.
- Defense +X% (refer to table below)
- Item level without penalty Y
Skill level | 1 | 10 | 20 | 30 | 40 | 50 | 60 | 70 | 74 | 75 | 80 | 90 | 100 | 110 | 120 | 130 | 140 | 155 | 170 | 185 | 200 |
Defense, +%: | 9,8 | 41,7 | 71,5 | 96,9 | 118,5 | 137,3 | 153,6 | 168,1 | 173,5 | 180,8 | 195,1 | 221,1 | 243,8 | 264,2 | 282,2 | 298,3 | 313,1 | 332,5 | 349,5 | 364,5 | 377,7 |
Chance to Block, +%: | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | 18 | 19,5 | 22,1 | 24,2 | 26,3 | 28,2 | 29,7 | 31,2 | 33,2 | 34,9 | 36,4 | 37,7 |
Mastery
- Grants a chance to block close combat attacks.
Properties
- "Item Level Without Penalty" reduces the attack speed penalties for equipping high-level shields; it doesn't allow equipping shields above certain threshold (which depends on character level - see Items/Usable Item Levels)
- As of version 2.43.0.0 of the game, the in-game skill description still says it increases the Defense Value of shields. However it is in fact the total Defense Value of characters which is increased when a shield is equipped. For instance, even a shield without any innate defense value will still increase the character's defense.
Breakpoints
- Item level without penalty is increased by one for every two skill points spent, starting at character level value. It is capped at 250.
- The Defense Bonus and Chance to Block are increased in steps as shown in the Shield Lore full table.
The Defense bonus at a given skill level x is given fairly precisely by the following formulas:
- 400*(x+1.5)/(x+100) Pre-Mastery
- 600*(x-32.5)/(x+66) Mastery
The Chance to Block bonus at a given skill level x is given fairly precisely by the following formulas:
- 60*(x-32.5)/(x+66) Mastery
The bold marked numbers are the smallest upper bounds of this progression, which will never at any skill level be exceeded.
As an example, defense at x=75: 75 is the first mastery level, so we take the mastery formula and we have
600*(75-32.5)/(75+66) = 600*42.5/141 = 180.85
This value compared with the table value is a good example of the precision the formulas offer.
