Related traits[edit]
Inventions[edit]
- Over Shield — Shield skills gain reduced recharge and grant protection to nearby allies. Protection on you gains increased damage reduction.
Notes[edit]
- Static Shield will keep blocking until the end of the channel.
- Throwing the shield, or attacking, interrupts the channel, ending the block prematurely.
- The skill blocks melee and ranged attack, but only enemies in melee range will be stunned when they attack. Only the enemy that attacks is stunned.
- The stun is able to interrupt skills like Blurred Frenzy or Pistol Whip despite the dodging effect of these skills.
- The skill applies the effect Static Shield.
- The stun effect does not have an internal cooldown, allowing this skill to obliterate defiance bars if timed correctly by blocking attacks that hit multiple times.
