Hi there,

with the changes in 2.0 the shield counts against almost every attack now. But what about defense? Does it work like shielding now or is it still only against meele/ranged attacks?

Thanks for the answers.

It only works against M/R.

Shield now applies to all kinetic/energy damage. Many were hoping defense would increase resist, but I think that would have affected force/tech internal and elemental damage, which can't be sheilded. That would have made defense way too goodsince 30% of damage is internal/elemental.

Not sure if we get resist roles to force tech internal elemental.

Force shroud works by adding 100% resist chance, and shroud works against it. Thus we must get a resist chance against it, assuming the tank has resist ofc.
