Shields Up affecting daggers?

 * Since Daggers deal Piercing Damage, does Shields Up! reduce the amount of damage dealt by daggers? 84.136.211.173 04:41, 22 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Oh yes. very well. I used it in the city with my warrior to tank the Am Fah.  It also works on Spike Trap and Barbed Trap and Vipers Nest.--Crazytreeboy 04:45, 22 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Don't you think this is worth putting a comment in the Notes? I'd be glad if someone could do this, since I don't want to destroy anything (I'm a gwiki Noob, glad that I figured out how to write something in this discussion thingy.) Thank you <3 84.136.211.173 04:49, 22 July 2006 (CDT)
 * Of course! But don't be afraid to edit things yourself. Ye can't really mess things up too badly around here. And we're glad when anyone wants to help. --Crazytreeboy 04:55, 22 July 2006 (CDT)

Just curious since it has been a while does it still protect people from spike traps and such? 07:47, 16 April 2007 J1j2j3
 * Not any more "now only effects party members, armor bonus applies versus all projectiles" &mdash; Skuld 05:14, 16 April 2007 (CDT)

Core Campaign?
It says it is a core skill, but i dont' see any Cantha trainers?
 * It's core, just checked &mdash; Skuld 16:55, 31 July 2006 (CDT)

I added some of the traiers in factions for this skill.07:51, 17 April 2007 J1j2j3
 * Practically every Factions trainer has it, which is why the link was there. --Fyren 03:00, 17 April 2007 (CDT)

Magic Projectiles?
Does this skill block magic projectiles as well, or just "physical" attack skill projectiles like arrows? I've tried testing it, and I *think* it blocks magic too, but it's hard to tell... I've been using it during Droks runs, through patches of grawls, ice imps, and ice sieges, and I *think* it blocks some of their ice spears that normally would hit me.... -insidious


 * No, it doesn't block spells. It'll block wand attacks and such, but not spells. It would be too overpowered then, just like Swirling Aura, which got nerfed. 24.6.147.36 11:35, 26 December 2006 (CST)


 * Does block spirit attacks though--81.178.239.205 05:35, 24 February 2007 (CST)

Pets?
My Ranger often runs with friends who like to throw this. Is his pet protected? --Jawn Sno 15:54, 25 October 2006 (CDT)


 * Yes, I would think so, it is a Shout. 24.6.147.36 11:35, 26 December 2006 (CST)
 * The fact it's a Shout does not make it affect pets. (For example, the shout "Watch Yourself!" does not.) The fact it says it affects allies makes it affect pets. :) Capcom 00:06, 7 January 2007 (CST)
 * And now it doesn't. Ugh. Capcom 23:05, 1 February 2007 (CST)

need nf trainer
This skill needs the factions & NF skill trainer. Xeon 04:54, 11 December 2006 (CST)


 * Tohn's been added in Kamadan, although I'm there right now and he doesn't have it. Is this just me, or is his inclusion on the list of trainers incorrect? Paulatpingu 05:05, 26 December 2006 (CST)
 * It's wrong. I'm taking it out now.&mdash;Aranth 20:26, 29 December 2006 (CST)

Nerfed
My guildie read about it not affecting daggers anymore so we did a test. He took off all his armour and I had 16 dagger mastery. 108 hit from wild blow without shields up and 108 hit with shields up - no difference.
 * The patch notes that last changed this say:
 * now only effects party members, armor bonus applies versus all projectiles
 * But the armor part of the description wasn't updated to match. --Fyren 13:39, 23 February 2007 (CST)

Trivia
That is... far-fetched, to say the least. I'm all for removing it unless we have a definitive source. But really, c'mon... "shield's up," raising your shield... not a reference to anything, just a generic name. - Auron 21:13, 1 July 2007 (CDT)
