Title: Voltaric Shield
Post by: silverclawgrizzly on January 22, 2014, 12:39:24 AM
Ok so fought a Wizard a few times and he had his shield up. Does it cancel out critical damage? Also lets say it does and the Wizard has 2 armor on. I roll 3 regular damage and 2 critical. In what order is it cancelled or reduced?

PG 34 of the Manual:

The attack has to deal at least one point of damage to the Wizard in order to trigger and use the shield, and this
damage is counted after armor has already taken effect. If the attack deals no damage to the Wizard (for example, all damage is absorbed by armor, or the attack is blocked by a Defense), the shield is not used.

So if the roll has both Normal and Critical Damage your armor will absorb the normal damage, up to the amount of armor, after that up to the next three points of damage (including critical) are absorbed by the Voltaric Shield.

I've been working on a new player document that covers some of those early questions that people tend to have (such as can I harmonize a mana crystal). I've added this one to it.
