Siphoning strikes - Does it proc on Absorb Shields?

Hi folks,

Before I create a build around Siphoning strikes for resource management I need to know - Does the basic effect (resource return on light / heavy attack) work on a shielded target?

With thieves guild being yet another Magicka oriented patch there's a lot of absorb shields out there; an entire class (Sorc), igneous spam by DKs (usually for stam return more than anything) and of course the majestic healing ward spam by anyone with a resto stick.

Cheers for any info!

    Yes. It proc's on all light/heavy attack's that connect to your target (the 1k tick's that is, the 15% chance is for ability's). Shield Breaker is a good combo for a Siphoning strikes build in my opinion.
