Shield Wall is an attackskill for armoured shields. The skill creates a walls of earth in front of the user. These walls can be damaged, obstruct incoming projectiles, and can hinder pathing. Upon being destroyed either by receiving damage or the character's Slam skills the wall explodes, dealing damage to enemies in an area in front of it.
Base damage from this skill scales off of the equipped shield's Armour rating. Conditional modifiers that increase the Armour provided by the shield do not contribute towards the skill's damage. Passive skills with the mod X% increased Defences from Equipped Shield does not affect the skill's damage.
Your weapon's local modifiers will not scale the damage of this skill. Damage is classified as off-hand damage regardless of the type of weapon you have equipped in your main hand or if you're unarmed.

Shield Wall has restrictions on where or how it can drop.
Shield Wall: Curvature has been reduced, and wall is now approximately 40% longer by default. Now has a base explosion radius of 4 metres (previously 3 metres) and additionally damages enemies in close proximity to the wall in all directions when exploding. You can now use Shield Charge to bash straight through the wall. When the wall is destroyed by your own skills, the entire wall is destroyed at once rather than only nearby segments. However, this can only deal damage to each enemy once. Now has 108-235% Attack Damage at Gem levels 7-20 (previously 147-281%), and now has 100% more Damage if destroyed by your Skills. Now deals 80% less damage if destroyed by enemies in the first 0.5 seconds of its duration. Quality now provides 0-40% more Damage if destroyed by your Skills, instead of Can have +0-2 Shield Walls active at a time. Using Shield Wall with your target location out of Line of Sight will now cause you to use the Skill towards that direction, rather than fail.
Many Skills have had their base damage and/or damage growth per level rebalanced. Most of these changes are not specifically mentioned below as the changes are too widespread.
The mana cost for all Attacks, Marks and Warcries has been reduced, most notably at higher Gem levels.
Shield Wall segment Life past Gem level 20 now matches that of Ice Crystals (from Frost Wall for example), this is a reduction in total Life. Explosion radius is now 4 metres (previously 3).
