Decayed Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 You won't see it in your stats, and you will only notice damage mitigation if you successfully block an attack. What class are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamLeoARK Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 OK I got an Answer online thanks, Been a minute haha The P.Def of your shield isn't added to the amount of P.Def in your status window because the shield's P.Def only applies when the text message: "Shield defense succeeded" appears when you are attacked. say you have 500 P.Def, and u're using a Kite Shield (142 P.Def) when u're fighting and no msg appears, your P.Def is 500, but if the msg "Shield defense succeeded" your P.Def will be 642 for the next hit you'll receive. If you're using a Dynasty Shield (321 P.Def) your P.Def will be 821 when this msg appears, if not, it'll still be 500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devoid Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Let's not forget the most important part: shields are only for defense from ranged attacks. If you are not fighting archer-type monsters, the shield only gives you -8 evasion (unless you are using it for a set bonus). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shield still works well for tanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xHaseo Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Yes, shield's p.def is not added to ur p.def but it will work the moment you're gonne block an attack. The damage may get lowered or, upon a "critical block", lowered to 1 damage. Also, shield is blocking ANY kind of incoming damage. I'm not sure it works this way even in classic but shield can block : range, close and even nukes. All classes using shield may block an incoming atk but, ofc, those with the Shield Mastery passive skill will have a way stronger profit to wear one. Evasion is pretty much broken in classic version, making it kinda useless, but in the 3.0 patch we got (archers and daggers) a boost in evasive passive skills. Light armor mastery and Boost evasion got an higher evasion amount now...so maybe we'll stop seeing daggers and archers running with the freaking Heavy sets.

Which I'm sure will be broken when we get it. They will nerf the evasion boost or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we already have the evasion boost on passives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
