How much armor do shields give without the req? - Guild Wars Forums

How much armor do you get from a max armor shield that you do not meet the req for? I know a white/blue focus gives 3 energy and a purple/gold one gives 6, but what about shields?

Thanks.

Golds will give 8 armor if you don't meet the requirment, as long as the armor is above 8.

Green/Collector ones will give 3.

Interesting. That is good data to have.

Has anyone done any studies to see if you still get the special bonus? Such as -2 damage while enchanted etc.

Unless the bonus itself has a requirement, then you'll get a lessr version of the bonus until the requirement is met.
