drounds Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Hi, might be a silly question but when your character holds a shield generator in off hand, do you have to activate it to work?? Running a tank and i seem to take a lot of damg. But don't seem to see a way to activate the shield so I assume its always on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owsley Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) It's totally automatic and passive. It mitigates damage and is used in the damage calculations. If you mouse over the defensive stats on your character page, you will see the numbers. If you remove the off hand, you will see the change.

Eternalnight Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Your shield has 20% chance to activate from incoming damage (5% base chance + 15% from having your tank stance active). Beyond that it gets higher the more shield rating gear you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aexrael Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Keep in mind it doesn't block Force or Tech attacks, only Weapon Damage hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
