Which is the formula for shielding?

Question

I saw a question with a very detailed formula for damage and I wondered there is a similar formula for evading, blocking or decreasing damage from shielding?

Answer 1

Heres the formulae from:

• Formulae Armor and Defense (Wiki En)
• Formulae Armor and Defense (Wiki Br)

Examples with different gear:
a = 500

Average Damage

spirit guide

Defense:	17	280.6
Shielding:	32
Armor:	33

shoulder plate + loyalty + blockade

Defense:	26	233.6
Shielding:	39
Armor:	33

mastermind shield + loyalty + blockade

Defense:	37	190.7
Shielding:	39
Armor:	33

I'm not sure about the source of this formula (see talk page for others skeptisism with it)

it looks to of been added to the wiki back in 2009.
I also don't like how shielding is inherently a dodge/block skill but its formula is measuring average damage(?)
I don't think anyone really knows(?)
