A question about the shields - Guild Wars Forums

Emerald Mist · Jul 15, 2006, 03:59 AM // 03:59

I have seen shields that have 2X dmg reduction mods like

-2dmg w/stance & -2dmg w/enchanted or
-3dmg w/hex & -2dmg w/stance

However, is it possible to have combination like 20% -5dmg + -2dmg w/stance ?

no, that combination is not possible.

There are 4 different damage reduction mods for shields, and you can only have one of them on any given shield. But, those damage reduction numbers do stack with Knight's armor and an Absorption rune.

This is false.

-2(en)/-2(stance) shields are/were acutally very popular. as were -2(en or stance)/-3(hex) ones.

yer I myself is using those shields too

However, I havent seen any other dmg reduction mods combine with -5(20%) yet

I want a -2 (w/stance) + -5(20%) though

Emerald Mist · Jul 15, 2006, 04:58 PM // 16:58

so anyone has seen a -2 (w/stance) + -5(20%) shield? :<

As I said, that combination is not possible. A shield can have any one of the following damage recduction mods on it:

-2 while in a stance
-2 while enchanted
-3 while hexed
-5 (20% chance)

VGJustice, a shield CAN have more than one. People HAVE them. They exist.

You should check your facts before being so forward.

And Emerald, I have not.

...snap. You're right, lactatemike. Looks like the stance and enchant mods don't stack, but the others can.

Ok, I take back what I said. I'd check the Buy and Sell forums here. Maybe someone has one they'd be willing to part with.
