Ok, sry if this is the wrong place, but a few days ago i bought a few sheilds, and was doing a run. And im getting hit by these azures using signet of judgement, im in no stance, they hit for 57 damage, i hit sprint, still, 57 damage, im using a 45 -2 stance sheild,

My QUESTION TO ANET IS, did u change the ways sheilds work? or did u just make it say what it had dont for the past year and a half?

From my knowledge, it now says what it always has done, would like to see anet answer this if possible, id email them but they would tell me to post on a forum so here it is.

the -2 damage only applies to 'physical damage' judge sig is magic damage thus receiving no -damage

pupu means to clarify that after the update from today shields only reduce physical damage.
since signet of judgement is not physical damage it is not anymore reduced.

Holy damage was always armor ignoring. Signet of Judgement, Shield of Judgement, Balth. Aura, etc. all do the damage stated in the skill description.

Hockster hit it on the head, there are a number of armor ignoring skills out there such as this, blood spells and some earth spells. They always do the listed damage regardless of armor or level differences.
