Shield Block

Shield Block is an ability available to Warriors in Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen. This ability cannot be used without a shield equipped.

Description
''Raise your shield, absorbing 60% of all Physical damage for 2 seconds. While Shield Block is active, you will gain Resilience as a percentage of the damage absorbed. Requires a Shield.'' (In-game Description)

''Raise your shield to meet a frontal attack, dramatically reducing the physical damage you receive while the shield is raised. Additionally, a percentage of the damage you would have received will be converted into Resilience.'' (Official Description)

Note(s)
As of Dec. 2019, it is unknown if Shield Block still has the following properties, as they are not stated on the tool tip in game:
 * [[File:Bullet.png]] If timed correctly, you will reduce the damage of an enemy’s Devastating Attack by up to 50% based on your Strength, Constitution and Shield Mastery.

Based on Nov. 2019's Dev stream, it seems likely that the timing aspect is still intended, but how much mitigation and what stats influence it is unknown.
