Resonating Shield is a channelling attack skill for armoured shields. While channeling, the user bangs on their shield to create shockwaves, dealing physical damage to nearby enemies and breaking armour. While channelling, the character counts as blocking.

Skill functions and interactions

User counts as using Active Block from Raise Shield while channelling.

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.
