    Mobs have three basic melee hits, piercing, crushing and slashing. Not sure if there are actually cases where they do switch, but as a rule, they use one of those three melee attacks.
    So that is why, in Malice tanks put shields to the right (ctrl 33) because the sisters do Piercing damage and hit on your right side. The adds in Malice do slashing and add killers put shields to the left (ctrl 11) to minimize incoming damage. Flame boss in Monastery do crushing so place shields to the top (ctrl 22).

    Look at the combat log, if you get more of one type than the other, place shield accordingly. They help a lot!

    This must be AoC's most stuborn myth. I've seen full T4 soldiers that still actually believe it.

    Funcom employees spreading it however is something new.

    lol always wondered about that one. Flame HM was the first HM i learned to do in Khitai and never was I instructed to jump at burning skin Later I would see people do it in pugs and even get yelled at for not doing it, and I always thought "Why the hell would I be jumping"? oh well, some myths die hard like the shield thingy

    He is not an employee. Mods are volunteers.

    He is however incorrect. While setting shields a certain direction does not affect damage type, it blocks the direction they are hitting. Example is malice as the sisters only attack the same direction.

    As long as you don't question the moderation, anything we say as players is open to discussion.

    In any case, if you have a doubt about a game mechanism, do it the old way: test it yourself

    actually i think i have proved it few times that dpsing on fire skin has no effect, like using holy cleansing should kill me by the myth.. it didn't... actually it just gave prot buff to group for that dot and pretty nice dps buff from helping out tanks. :P still waiting a lightning strike to kill me...
