Shield overflow still works or fixed?

spiritwarrior · February 2016

If I use hardened on weapons does the rest of the damage still hit me unmitigated? I have been reading that the first part of the shield just absorbs the damage but if the hit is more than the shields value then I received the rest without factoring any resistances in, is this still true to this day?

Oh and also does this apply to all shield from sorc, Dk etc.?

Yes it's true

No, damage in excess of your damage shield is correctly mitigated. This has been true since IC.

@FENGRUSH you are the only one I know who can answer this question so can you help out please as I too would like to know

@Asayre says its been fixed since IC - I know it was unmitigated before that but havent tested since. Generally its always lower with light armor anyway so - I dont really test it, I just let it rip.
