Is there a hidden mechanic for shield armor? Or does it reduce it be the stated amount on every hit? Eg, the Steel Shield would need to take 70 or more damage to actually be damaged? (as it has 69 resistance)

The website shows shields as having a body armour stat. But when equipping shields ingame it shows as "resistance" - I'm hoping someone is able to enlighten me as to what this stat is and what it actually does etc.
Thanks in advance.

Guides / Re: The Art of Throwing

« on: February 07, 2011, 06:08:52 pm »

My current character is a thrower and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I want to make my next build after retirement more versatile though. I'm intending to make a 1h/shield-thrower hybrid for harassment/survival. I mostly play siege with a buddy which is why I'm goin to use an odd build. My projected stats at level 30 will be as follows.
Strength - 18
Agility - 18

Power Throw - 6
Power Strike - 6
Athletics - 5
Shield - 5
Weapon Master - 5
With 2 skill points leftover.

5 WM will give me 113 ish skill in 1h and throwing.

Not sure where the last skill points would be best spent. Either weapon master to be better in combat, shield to be more durable, or athletics to be more versatile.

I'll be mostly using jarids or a warhammer with a big sturdy shield and plate armor. It's very similar to my current character except I have 21 strength and 7 power throw currently. I'm a bit weak in melee combat though, so when I run out of jarids I just end up blocking until my shield breaks.

Any thoughts?

Yes, apparently I was banned because I went afk for 10 seconds, I would like this to be removed.
