Damage Shields and Armor Resistances Question
Damage shields will now have the same armor and crit resistances as the caster.
The main question I have, and maybe some PTS users can answer: Do your resistance values apply twice? Once on the shield and then again on any damage that penetrates after the shield is used up?
So say my sorc's shield gets hit for 8K after it applies my Light Armor resistances and my crit resistance. My shield is only 5K so 3000 dmg remains and hits my health bar. Does that remaining 3K get mitigated by resistances before hitting my health bar?
