So this is from another thread discussion but making a separate thread for it to highlight it a bit more.
So again, always do your own research, can't really argue with data. Cause anyone can go and duplicate this if they want it proven to them. If my words are not enough I can go and get screenshots of my Combat logs, or as said you can go and check it yourself.

Where as with no damage shield and your mitigation of approx 50% you would take 5K damage from the same hit. I can't test this as I'm on console so I'm relying on PC users giving the info but I did notice when I stopped using igneous Shield (use igneous weapons for the earthen Heart passive instead) a lot less high damage spikes.

My Igneous Shield shields for 9634 damage. So if your statement was true then after using up my shield I would take 4977 damage, cause that would be what was left if not mitigated. But it didn't. I only took 1048. Which if I use my mitigation calculations on the damage that should have hit me sums up perfectly with my current mitigation. So no it does not go through your armor and block if the shield runs out.
Funny enough though. When I used minor maim on the boss and then took a hit with his bash while having a damage shield up I only took 586 damage. This is cause the minor maim applies to him and not me, which means his damage output first got reduced to 12419 and then applies to my shield, again 9634, and so that's 2785 worth of damage left, but again my mitigation that was left not counting maim twice sums it up to 586.
So this proves 2 things. Even after a shield you will mitigate damage, and for all those who doubted it, minor maim works on bosses.
