Shield skill is a that determines a player's ability to activate an equipped shield to block an incoming physical attack. The amount of damage reduction from a successful shield block is based on the type of shield and its DEF rating. Likewise, the block rate is also determined by the type of shield equipped. The greater a player's Shield skill is, the greater the probability the attack will be blocked when the shield procs.
Notes
- The hard cap on shield block rate is 65%.
- The job ability Shield Mastery prevents the casting of spells or ninjitsu from being interrupted by a physical attack if all hits in a combat round are successfully blocked.
