Dark Age of Camelot Grab Bag Q&A

Mythic Entertainment’s Joanne Laroche has added yet another entry to the long-running Dark Age of Camelot Grab Bag Q&A series on the Camelot Herald.

Q. I’ve been using a spellcrafted shield, and I’m interested in putting a reactive proc on it, but I’ve heard conflicting reports that reactive procs on shields don’t always work. Do reactive procs work on shields?

A. The Equalizer definitely had a reaction to this question and he explains: Reactive effect will work on a shield, but only in RvR combat, and only when you have successfully blocked an attack. Players are currently able to achieve blocking rates that are nearly 100% in PvE combat, and so reactive effects will not fire while fighting monsters. Reactive effects will also only fire when you have successfully blocked an attack (as that is when your shield is (hit)), and not when you perform Shield Styles.
