Talk:Shield of Judgment


 * Should this be the other way round: "Shield of Judgement" being the article and "Shield of Judgment" redirecting to it?


 * The skill description says "attack"; does this mean "melee attack", or *any* attack (melee and ranged)? --Eudas


 * Any attack, that includes melee and ranged.

 * SoJ does Holy Damage? --Pl4Gue 09:05, 12 July 2006 (CDT)
 * It does. Please use indents &mdash; Skuld  09:06, 12 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Does this work if you block the attacks?

My entirely-melee RA team got lol'd by a monk with this. It was a Mo/A. Naturally, being a monk, we all targeted him. Well, he teleported into us and began stabbing us, as we all got knocked down and then owned by elementalist AoE. Never underestimate the element of surprise.

Because its only melee creatures that flee from SoJ, i have found that farming the jade brotherhood north of senji's quite effective. Also with nightfall there is Shield of Absorption, this allows for huge ammounts of aggro. Since Oct 25th I have actually found my farming more efficient and much more profitable because of this.

Hehe, end of 55 solo monks? Read the latest wiki notes on this skill, duration fixed to 1...7 ;p How many hits you can take, 2, 3? With B. Aura + 20% longer it's maybe 10 seconds, so 4-5 hits... Bye-bye, bots. - Abedeus 01:29, 2 February 2007 (CST)
 * It's shield of deflection I believe not Judgment that was change.&mdash; ├ A ratak ┤  01:34, 2 February 2007 (CST)
 * Yes, it's Shield of Deflection, thank goodness. Maybe it'll be a good skill now. Entropy 01:36, 2 February 2007 (CST)
 * And Shield of Regeneration? &mdash; Rapta  [[image:Rapta_Icon1.gif|19px]] (talk|contribs) 01:45, 2 February 2007 (CST)
 * There are just too many "Shield of ____" skills to remember. There are so many they could be in a separate category. :P Sora267 22:01, 15 February 2007 (CST)

usefull in any healer build (assassin jumps on you-knockdown...)
 * That's why you have shield bash.

shield bash needs secondary warrior and shieldKalamaras gr 15:12, 25 March 2007 (CDT)
 * And SoJ needs attribute points, 15 energy and your elite slot, not to mention being able to cast -- I know which one i'd prefer &mdash; Skuld 15:14, 25 March 2007 (CDT)

Better then both: Return. Shadowstep away from danger ftw. UnexistNL

SoJ and Ice Imps
While farming Ice Imps in Talus Chute with my 55hp monk, I observed that some ice imps kept hitting my monk and were only affected by SoJ on every third hit or so. From the skill's description I would expect, that every hit counts and not only every third hit. Is this a bug or "a feature"? One weird Ice Imp (no boss - just a regular ice imp) did not receive any damage at all from SoJ - he was in a group of 4 imps mixed with some Siege Ice Golems (who all died). I kept fighting him, but he was unaffected by SoJ.

Has anyone else observed anything similar? -- Looping 24 March 19:51 (GMT+1)
 * After more testing it seems to me that spell-attacks - in this case the Ice Spear of the Imps do NOT trigger SoJ. This is pretty annoying since the Imps can spam that spell for a long time. So the key to effective use of SoJ against Ice Imps is to make them use their normal attack which does trigger SoJ. Playing with range seems to work somewhat -- Looping 25 March 13:14 (GMT+1)
 * There's no such thing as a spell attack. Attack always means swinging a weapon in GW, whether it's a sword or a wand.  --Fyren 13:19, 25 March 2007 (CDT)
 * Or a Scythe, Daggers, or a Staff. How about Spears and Bows... Bows aren't swung, maybe the bow-string... Hahaha! And on the more serious side, this skill PWNS those anorexic Assassins.

Blocking
Question, Let's say i've got SoJ and a block stance up. What happens? Does it matter which I activate first? Or will it try to go through the stance, and then the enchantment? Help would be appreciated Caramel Ni 17:15, 5 April 2007 (CDT)
 * This doesn't prevent you from being hit. The stance would give you a chance to block and if it fails, you'll get hit and then the attacker will take damage and be knocked down.  --Fyren 20:02, 5 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Seems kind of ironic since it is a "shield"... [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 20:11, 5 April 2007 (CDT)


 * I realized that. I was wondering which the damage hit first...
 * it goes from left to right, but stances are always on the left whenever thier casted so it will always block first then hit them
 * Stacking order does not matter for blocking. If you have an enchant that blocks and SoJ, the block will always have its check before SoJ.  --Fyren 11:52, 30 April 2007 (CDT)


 * Yes but, it order for shield of judgement to knockdown, it says anyone "striking target ally". It never says specifically that the attack must hit. M s4 17:52, 30 April 2007 (CDT)
 * That has nothing to do with what the person I replied to said. But anyway, everywhere in GW "strikes" is synonymous with "hits."  --Fyren 17:58, 30 April 2007 (CDT)

Knockdown
If a warrior were to use this as their elite, would the knockdown be affected by the stonefist gauntlets that increases knockdown to 3 seconds? Or does the recipient of the enchantment count as the source of the knockdown, and thus only a 2 second knockdown acheived? Does anyone know? Puk 09:29, 8 April 2007 (CDT)


 * 3 seconds, same for stuff like Shock and Gale and Bane Signet and Signet of Judgment and Spike Trap...etc etc [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 21:50, 12 April 2007 (CDT)
 * No, stonefist won't lengthen shield of judgment's knockdown. --Fyren 00:51, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Entropy has trouble counting in seconds. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:10, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Huh? Stoneskin's don't stack, so why would it lengthen till 3 seconds? Supposed to be 2 I guess. UnexistNL 12:59, 4 May 2007 (CDT) Soz still sleeping.

Related skills... why is hammer bash one of them? It's not a conditional knockdown.
