* Shield Mastery grants +10 defense while in this mode.
* Conjuration time: 1s.
* Shield Wall, Shield Cover, Shield Defense and Juggernaut modal abilities are mutually exclusive.

* Upkeep is in .
* Armor reduces the physical damage taken. Its effect is reduced by the Armor Piercing characteristic of weapons and talents.
== Bugs ==
* Damage is not actually reduced in game or on the character screen. Unofficial fix for PC is available here. Damage on character screen is still incorrect, but damage dealt is reduced properly.
