Knight shield gems list

[rayun]

Here is list of 4 commonly used gems in shields and explanations.

This gem ads 5% to general damage reduction in case of blocking. It does stack with knight passive damage reduction and also self buff (and with damage reduction from incoming cleric Unique integrity skill).  This is most used gem for knigths

 

Adds 5% block rate, works well against many lower damage makers (example Cave spiders). This gem is effective only when incoming damage from monsters/etc is LOWER than "Block physical" or "Block Magical". This is second most used gem in game right now

 

Adds flat 415 extra to "Block Physical", helpful when incoming PHYSICAL damage is a little higher than your block amount and you take still some damage (and its lower than 415), then adding this gem will make damage blocked fully.

 

Adds flat 415 extra to "Block Magical", helpful when incoming MAGICAL damage is a little higher than your block amount and you take still some damage (and its lower than 415), then adding this gem will make damage blocked fully.
