Increased Defences from equipped Shield

Hey there,

I'm a little bit confused about these nodes in the tree. Do they increase all, Evasion, Armor and Engery Shield from the equipped shield?
Let's say I have a 200 ES shield and 100% increased defences from equipped shield. So my shield would count as 400 ES?
Thanks alot

Yes, it applies to all three defenses.
That's why it reads "defenses" and not "armor".

But no, your 200 ES is not a 400 ES shield all of a sudden.
"Increased" sources are always added up with all other "increased" sources.

Let's say, you have +200% Energy Shield from tree, gear and intelligence.
And 100% increased shield defenses.

It is NOT: 200 * (1+100%) * (1+200%) = 1200 ES
It is: 200 * (1+100%+200%) = 800 ES
