Does Major Mending increase shield strength?

In some Games absorption shields count as heals. Major Mending increases your healing by 25%. Does it increase the absorption amount of damage shields like Healing Ward, Barrier etc.?
Can't test it on console, the buff doesn't last long enough that I can activate it and read tooltips.

✭In this game damage shields arent equal to healing. Danage shields belong to defence mechanism, while healing isnt defence.
So damage shields arent buffed my minor or major mending, only by your max star pool and your cp‘s set into the specific tree.1 -

While you are correct, most wards in this game scale off health, like 80% of them, so again, you are correct health is a max stat pool, just not what you are thinking. The big 3 most people think are conjured Ward, annulment and steadfast ward, the first 2 are just off of max magic but steadfast ward and both its morphs, ward ally and healing ward do NOT get buffed by major mending, as they also scale with spell damage.
Barrier is an ultimate, so scales with whatever stats are higher, Stam or mag and it takes into account your spell or weapon damage, so maybe it scales with major mending, the heal from reviving barrier would definitely be increased with major mending.
Made a list once of all the wards in the game and what they scale off of. See here-the only 2 wards that use max magic exclusively are Conjured Ward and morphs(~36% max magic) and Annulment and morphs( ~34% of your max magic) all other shields use health (1. Hardened Armor , 2. Obsidian Shield and morphs, 3. Sun Shield and morphs, 4. Crystallized Shield and morphs{not a true ward though, only absorbs the projectiles damage but scales with 150% of your health}, 5. Shielded Assault {~12.5% max health}, 6. Bone Shield and morphs, 7. Absorb Magic {again, not a true ward but scales with 50% of max health}, 8. the shield you get from heavy attacking with a frost staff from the passive "Tri Focus", ~8% max health), also use spell damage (Steadfast Ward and morphs) or use max stamina and weapon damage(the shield from brawler)Edited by Lightspeedflashb14_ESO on April 10, 2018 3:26AM2 -

✭The shield strength doesnt get buffed by major mending, this counts for all damage shields. But if healing is tied to it, the the healing part can be buffed. Example are barrier, which gives stronger healing, but the shield strength is only dependent on max health. Also healing ward, you get a fix value dependent on stats. Then this is increased be the missing health part, but not by mending. When the shield time rund out, you get the remaining shield as heal, this is buffed by mending.0 -

✭nooo cant read the original post @Lightspeedflashb14_ESO .....
just tested it wilt healing ward, the damage shield size in that case is dependent on magicka and spelldamage, there you are right. but minor and major mending only increase the initial heal and the final heal when the shield time runs out. shieldsize only is dependent on magicka and spelldamage and the coefficient of the health of the target

the description of major mending is very clear. It boosts your healing by %25.
Shields are not healing. You can test this by rapidly spamming igneous shield twice on a DK, you will see that the second shield you spam is not %25 larger, both shields will be the same. but your vigor or rally tooltips will increase by it.Edited by Ragnarock41 on April 9, 2018 3:29PM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I am talking about the scaling for shields. There needs to be an indication in game which skill scales which which stat etc.
On console you can't test most things. Before I opened up the menu and got to the tooltips the buff is already gone.PS5EUAldmeri Dominion- Khajiit Arcanist -0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Shields only scale with stuff that explicitly states that it increases shield strength. So for example max magicka/max health (depending on the type of shield, see specific skill descriptions) or bastion CP star. Shields are also affected by battle spirit in PvP. Unless something directly says that it affects shield strength it does not change anything about them.0 -

Via independent testing, you are right and that is why I removed my post, not to mention I came off really annoyed, real life was irritating me at the time. Though to be clear, barriers ward scales with your max magic or Stam and spell or weapon damage, depending on what is higher, not max health. You might be thinking of the ward that magma shell gives, that is 100% of the persons health that receives that ward.
