Increases Defences

I have completely no idea, what does it mean. There is a skill called Shield mastery on the left side of passive skill tree and it says "increased defences". After i allocate my skill point there, there was no chynge in my defensive stats (armor stayed at the same number etc). Could someone explain me, what does it mean: "Increased defences". Even PoE wiki doesnt know anything about it.

Thanks

It says Increased Defences from equipped shield. How I read is that all defensive stats (block and armor, possibly resistances) on your shield will be improved.
So how I read into it, if you have a shield that gives you 100 armour with that passive you'll get 120.
Ok, thanks. Youre probably right.
Hello BonhartTheRogue,

I guess that's the passive you are referring to?:

"
Shield Mastery

4% additional Shield Block Chance
20% increased Defences from equiped Shield

"increased Defences" applys to your shield's basic defense stat(s) (like Evasion Rating, Energy Shield and Armour).


E.g.:

grants 53 Evasion Rating. Upon equiping said shield your character should get an additional 20% of these 53 ER (10,6 ER, total of 63,6 ER).

all "increased" (and "reduced") modifiers to one stat stack additively. "more" (or "less") is used for those that stack multiplicatively. This is true for all stats in the game.

both "increased armour" (such as from passives) and "increased defences" are "increased" bonuses applying to your amrour value. Determination is a "more" bonus.
so the amount of armour from your shield is:
base shield armour * (1 + increased armour + increased shield defences) * (1 + determination)


Note that increased armour mods on the shield item itself are modifying the base armour of the item, not the armour you get from it, so are already applied before we get to this point, to actually get the "base armour" value.

Edit: Apparently asandriss got there first. Nevertheless stats like block or resistances are not affected.

Ok, thanks you both.

I know now, where is a problem. It works only with "Shields", probably not with "Spirit Shields". I'm playing Templar class now and it doesn't work, because i use spirit shield, i guess...

Edit: NO i talked rubbish sry, it works with spirit shields, i've tried it, i used my respec point to attest it... It is aplied on armour, energy shield and evasion rating, which is already mentioned in post above.
