This bonus increases the proportion of penetrating damage that will be diverted to the shield.  This can be very valuable in a case where the character has a smaller number of health points than shield hit points.  Note that since [[Sacred 2:Divine Protection|Divine Protection]] starts with a value of at least 100% and can become quite large in the later game, it may not be useful to increase this bonus for use with [[Sacred 2:Divine Protection|Divine Protection]].

−
Increases the rate at which shield hit points are recovered. Note that [[Sacred 2:Seraphim|Seraphim]] shields of either type, ( [[Sacred 2:Divine Protection|Divine Protection]] and [[Sacred 2:Warding Energy|Warding Energy]] ), do not recover shield hit points while in combat. [[Sacred 2:Temple Guardian|Temple Guardian]]'s [[Sacred 2:T-Energy Shroud|T-Energy Shroud]] can be modified to regenerate while in combat, but by default it will not.

*As a buff, a player doesn't have to worry about if their shield is up and running. (Unless its energy is all gone).
 +
*Will stack with [[Sacred 2:Divine Protection|Divine Protection]] to make a super-powered energy shield.
 +
'''Cons'''
 +
*Does not regenerate energy points while in-combat.
 +
*If using with Divine Protection, it will deactivate Warding Energy when the duration expires, meaning this buff will have to be recast often.
