Electromagnetic Shielding mods and auto blocking 3.0
I enjoy playing tanks and damage sponges. Before 3.0, I really enjoyed the Ack & Brunt specific mod called "Electromagnetic Shielding" which allowed me to absorb up to 50% of the damage my teammates took. When combined with Guardian Derision, you could significantly reduce the damage of your entire party. The problem with Electromagnetic Shielding is that you have to be ACTIVELY blocking for the effect to work. Since 3.0, there is no way to actively block, which means this mod only works for
I should clarify that there is only one way to actively block, and that is to have NO other weapons but your sword and shield equipped and pull your left trigger which will then block.
This is where we run into a problem with Javlok Magazine Warp. You see, I then have to equip the Javlok to benefit from the synergy it offers Ack & Brunt... but then I can't actively block to take advantage of my Electromagnetic Shielding mod.
