: Holy Shield |
|
|
Effect: Magically enhances shield to give defense bonuses.
Holy Shield is not a Passive skill, it is similar to the Sorceress' Frozen
Armor spells. To create a Holy Shield, cast the spell. It will last until it
wears off which will be determined by how many skill points you have placed in
Holy Shield.
Paladins who use Shields should consider this skill. Additional defense and
increased blocking is always something to be desired, and this skill can still
be used in combination with his Auras, and other Combat skills.
You may not want to use this skill in combination with the Thorns Aura. When
using Thorns, you want the monsters to hit you so that they will be damaged by
Thorns, however Holy Shield makes it more difficult for monsters to hit you.
There is a 75% cap on shield blocking. Keep this in mind before placing too
many points into Holy Shield if you are using it to increase blocking. Sigon's
Guard offers Paladin's 74% to block. One point into Holy Shield would allow the
Paladin to maximize blocking to 75%. If you are using this shield, one point in
Holy Shield will do the job unless you want to use the skill for more defense.
Holy Shield is very useful to increase blocking on shields with low blocking.
You may find a great rare, or unique shield with low blocking. The lack of
blocking on the shield may make you think twice about using it, but with Holy
Shield you can raise the chance to block and still use this shield.
