Not pertaining to any particular class. Do shields (or specific shields, I used hardened ward) gain any benefit with champion points into hardy and other such champion stars? Does armor and spell resistance have any effect as well?

    I hate to *** in your cheerios, but elemental defender and hardy work with wards. Armor resistances however, do not.

    Then it needs to un-work and only work with bastion. Damage shield are already grossly OP and broken and don't need any more CP to make them even more OP.

    Shattering blows will counter hardy and elemental defender on shields.

    Oh yea yea that's what they said about shield breaker. Shield breaker will take care of damage shields no problem.

    No sorry but no besides shatter blows only helps when you have have DPS to back up the bonus damage it adds. Shatter blows was another attempt from ZOS to band aid the damage shield problems just like shield breaker

    The only damage shield worth using is sorc exclusive. Might not be such an issue if dk's and templars had shields that scaled off of resources instead of health, and the same for bone shield.

    Healing Ward and it's varients, also annulment is one of the best shields out there, for any magicka build. (Especially NBs that stack it with healing)
