Shield Wall question

SalamanNZ · May 2023

Can anyone tell me if Shield wall and it's morphs actually stop all damage for 6 seconds (as per the tool tip) and what is classed as all damage. Because when I activate it in pvp my health bar drops from 45k to 0k in about 3 seconds if I'm just standing there. If I'm blocking with my shield I can stay alive for 20 or more seconds without heals. It's like the ability not blocking anything at all. I understand if I already have dots it won't suddenly stop them from ticking but new damage should be mitigated shouldn't it? What am I not understanding

I would assume it acts as if you were manually blocking attacks but instead acts passively for 6 seconds (at no stam cost), allowing you to do other things.

there was a bug where it would not be applying if you were sprinting

but yeah thats all it does is basically "auto-block" for 6 sec, so it uses whatever your block mitigation is

its not immunity to dmg unless your talking about projectiles (if your using the morph that reflects projectiles)
