What does "spamming shields" actually MEAN?

Obviously this is a noob question but I have wondering this for a long time and now seems like the best time to ask, rofl.

Is this just referring generally to skills that absorb/block damage like Harness Magicka or Shimmering Shield? Or Healing Ward if you're running a resto?

Does each class have a "shield" skill and, if so, what's a Nightblade's?

    It's a phrase bad players use in an attempt to distract others from the fact that they lack the skill needed to kill anyone who isn't a potatoe.
    Unless you are willing to be a mindless sycophant and/or coddle others due to their insecurities prepare to be harrased by the Orwellian enforcers on these forums. You should also try to refrain from using any words more complex than those used by a small child due to the fact that said enforcers have made it clear that their vocabulary pool is aenemic.

    Yes any of the skills which add that additional layer of shielded health is generally considered a damage shield.

    Not every class has a shield. Nightblade being one of the main ones which doesn't.

    Spammable basically means you can just throw it up for instant damage reduction with the exception of global cooldown.

    It means to stack 2 or more different damage shields so you have constant damage shields. Like conjured ward+harness magicka.

    Magblades would use the light armor shield. Stamblades used to rely more on dodge/evasion. Plus Cloak for both, obviously.
