Ogull 421 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) In this topic i will be talking about the many mechanics and behaviors of the death knight skills In this one i will be talking about dk most iconic skill Dark Shield As the skill describe, with some chance it ignore damage in accordance with your defense leveling the skill does not increase the amount of damage the skill ignore, but it only increase the chance for the ignore to happen when activated the skill will calculate your armor and give you a buff that ignore damage in accordance with that armor value now the real catch with this skill is that it does not calculate your armor constantly (or when ever you get hit) but only when the skill is activated! see video below ice_video_20190501-130753.webm as you can see in the video, i activated the skill when i had my gear on and a armor value of 7800 then i took my armor off and started getting hit, you can immediately notice that i still get 0 damage although my armor is 0 that because the skill got activated when i had armor but the moment i activate the skill again, it calculate my new armor value, which is 0 and i get hit constantly to death without getting the 0 damage this information can be really useful to know in a lot ways first of all be sure to activate the skill when your armor is at its highest value like when you are effected by shaman earth protection or when you are under the effect of scrolls and potions use skill aura of hatred then dark shield for extra protection is also useful another cheesy strategy is to have PvE gear then use dark shield then switch back to PvP gear giving that your PvE gear give more armor, making the skill more useful although your armor not as high one last thing make sure to not reactivate dark shield without making sure your armor is at its highest as activating the skill again will reset the buff with the armor new value this is it for death knight Dark shield be ready for the next thread where i will be talking about death call and how its useful in PvP Thanks for reading...

Higgings 1824 Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Not to mention the work of Icy Relic of intractability, which works in a wonderful way with this skill. And many of the things you wrote were unknown to me, or at least I didn't pay attention to it. Very nice, very good attention you give to some details. Chapeau!

But seem you wouldn't show your ign or? well that's part of it, i didn't really want to show my ingame name, but also i thought it is unrelated, i wanted to focus the attention to the character and how it is receiving damage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
