The following attributes will affect this combat art:

  • Stamina reduces regeneration penalty.

Usage Strategies

  • Much general information for energy shield usage is given in the article Energy Shields.
  • The Block mod increases the Damage Mitigation mod by an absolute amount, not a %, it is different from and does not give % damage mitigation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • As a buff, a player doesn't have to worry about if their shield is up and running. (Unless its energy is all gone).
  • Will stack with Divine Protection to make a super-powered energy shield.

Cons

  • Does not regenerate energy points while in-combat.
  • If using with Divine Protection, it will deactivate Warding Energy when the duration expires, meaning this buff will have to be recast often.
