Effects
Activating this skill starts a blocking animation, during which you can block any type of attack (including magical blasts). If you block an attack which deals elemental (non- physical) damage during the animation, you gain a Shield Imbue of that element. In the case of multiple elements on one attack, the priority is >  >  >  >.

When you have a Shield Imbue, the next blocked melee attack will create an area-of-effect explosion.

The damage of the explosion is:
 * 1.3x equipped Shield damage as Ethereal damage
 * 2.0x equipped Shield damage as the element of the imbue (either    )
 * 2.0x equipped shield Impact damage
