The following [[Sacred 2:Skills|skills]] will affect this combat art:
  
 +
* [[Sacred 2:Warding Energy Lore|Warding Energy Lore]] - will increase total shield energy points and improve the Block Warding Energy value (amount of damage that the shield will absorb).  Increases [[Sacred 2:Shield Regeneration|shield regeneration]] rate when mastered (applies out-of-combat only, the shield will never regenerate in-combat).
  
 +
* [[Sacred 2:Revered Technology Focus|Revered Technology Focus]] - reduces [[Sacred 2:Regeneration Time:|regeneration time]] penalty and allows for [[Sacred 2:Highest Combat Art Level Without Penalty|higher level combat art without penalty]], allows for modification points.
  
−
== Usage Strategies ==
+
* [[Sacred 2:Revered Technology Lore|Revered Technology Lore]] - increases the Damage Mitigation (Block Warding Energy value) of Warding Energy if the '''Block''' mod is chosen, improves [[Sacred 2:Casting Speed|casting speed]], allows for modification points.
−
Shield point regeneration time is 20 seconds at base, and can be improved with item boni, as well as the Mastery bonus for the skill [[Sacred 2:WikiPageName|Warding Energy Lore]].  For example, if a given shield has a total size of 1000 shield points, it will recover from empty to full at a rate of 1000/20 per second, or 50 shield points per second.
+
 
 +
The following [[Sacred 2:Attributes|attributes]] will affect this combat art:
 +
 
 +
* [[Sacred 2:Willpower|Willpower]] increases shield energy points.
  
−
When damage is dealt to a character that is running a shield of some type, the damage is first reduced by armor and damage mitigation, and remaining damage that penetrates is divided between character health points and shield hit points.  As total Absorption Warding Energy value approaches 100%, a larger proportion of incoming damage will be diverted to the shield, and less to character health points.  When Absorption Warding Energy is equal to or greater than 100%, ''all'' incoming damage goes to the shield, and character health points do not go down due to incoming damage.  '''Important note:'''  Some effects that directly reduce player hit point total, e.g. the [[Sacred 2:WikiPageName|Garganthropod]]'s weaken attack, may still decrease player health points despite the presence of the shield.
+
* [[Sacred 2:Stamina|Stamina]] reduces regeneration penalty.
  
−
The statistic "Absorption Warding Energy", visible in white text on the sigma bonus summary, determines the base proportion of how the damage is split.  This base statistic is determined by each type of shield:
+
== Usage Strategies ==
−
* Temple Guardian T-Energy Shroud has a base Absorption Warding Energy of 60%.  It does not change with CA level.
+
*Much general information for energy shield usage is given in the article [[Sacred 2:Energy Shields|Energy Shields]].
−
* Seraphim Warding Energy has a  base Absorption Warding Energy of 50%.  It does not change with CA level.
 
−
* Seraphim Divine Protection has a base Absorption Warding Energy of 100%, which increases with CA level.
 
  
−
For items with the modifier "Modified by 'Warding Energy Lore'", the related modifiers scale up with [[Sacred 2:WikiPageName|Warding Energy Lore]] skill.  This means that with increasing values of Warding Energy Lore, the boni provided by that item will increase in value as well.  E.g., for an item that provides the "Block Warding Energy" bonus, that bonus will grow larger with skill increase.
+
*The '''Block''' mod increases the Damage Mitigation mod by an absolute amount, not a %, it is different from and does not give % [[Sacred 2:Damage Mitigation|damage mitigation]].
