Question about Damage Shields and Igneous Shields

Always used it on my DK, but someone was saying something odd the other day and I wanted some clarification....
So, They were saying that they do not use Igneous Shields, because the shield removes your resistance?
So, if you have a Igneous Shield up for 5k, and get hit with an attack that does 8k, that 5k shield is gone with a remaining 3k DMG, and this 3k DMG ignores your resistance, since it hit your shield initially. That 3k is pure DMG, not affected by any resistance.
As opposed to having no shield up, getting hit for 8k, and your resistances removing about 4k DMG anyway....
That seems weird to me, is that true? Is it only for Igneous Shields or all DMG shields?? On console so really hard for me to tell if its true.
Sorry if I worded it confusing...but any help would be sweetness.

✭✭✭✭✭Aah not sure if they patched it, doubt they did, but yeah essentially thats what happens.
But you should really use igneous on a dk because of the 30% healing, as well as when it's up an attack can't crit.PS4 EU DC

I have every character level 50, both a magicka and stamina version.

D0ntevenL1ft✭✭✭✭✭I believe its for all damage shields but igneous is weak because it scales off health so its more noticeable for that ability0 -

✭Well this is indeed odd! I use Volatile Armour instead of Igneous, but for the rare times when I do slot it for 12 man groups it'd be good to know!I have departed into the great unknown that is outside the game and the forums, and wish you well in your Tamriel adventures!

Oh man ALL shields??
I may need to re-morph some skills (hardened armor morph grants a small DMG shield, if it applies to that it is actually terrible)Tripped over my friends bra.....
