Bone Shield (Undaunted) & Blazing Shield (Templar)

pikapp515_ESO

The Spiked Bone Shield ability from the 1.6 Undaunted skill line specifies that it only absorbs PHYSICAL damage, while Blazing Shield from the Templar Aedric Spear line does not specify what kind of damage... which 'should' mean ALL damage. Obviously this is an important difference.

1) Can anyone "confirm or deny" that Blazing Shield includes all damage sources? I'm skeptical about how well they write the tool tips.

2) Anyone experience both and have a preference or min/max knowledge on the damage each one does to surrounding enemies? Blazing Shield waits until the 6 seconds are up to do it's 53% damage but Bone Shield seems to (again, verbage on tool tip) do damage (30%) immediately as it is absorbed. Seems to me that Bone Shield would win out on this one - with majority physical damage... which is most PvE content in think, right?

3) First CAN you cancel Blazing Shield before 6 seconds are up; second, if you can, does it still do 53% of absorbed damage to attackers?

Thanks!

I havent tested to see if bone shield is better, but i can answer #1 and 3

#1. B. shield "includes" damage from all sources... magic, melee, and aoe ( not fall damage tho).

#3. Yes it will still do 53% of the damage that it absorbed when you refresh it. When taking tons of damage you can just spam B. shield for constant shields and AoE DPS ! I Love It
