Thread: Question about personal shields and armor?
DO the protections from wearing armor and a personal shield overlap in anyway? either the resists or the ar level uped to ar 2?
Does anyone knwo i equiped a composite suit today and a shield and got wierd messages in my combat chat and pretty low numbers over my head but nothing i can come to solid conclusions on.
exampele
enemy hits your for 200
your shield mkIII prevents 90
your shield mkIII prevents 4
I'm pretty sure that the shield blocks damage on top of your armor. But dont look at your combat tab to see how much your getting hit for. You have to watch the numbers over your head.
Same goes for when your attacking, the combat tab might say that your hitting for X amount, but in reality, depending on your target's resists/armor, you might be hitting for singnificantly lower.
