Shielding is identical in function to the [[Invulnerable Minions]] effect, except that one only appears on boss minions, and is permanent. Shielding pops in and out on Bosses and Champions, turning on for a few seconds, then vanishing again without warning or any set on/off time.

~~Shielding can be seen on some [[Elites]], though~~ [[Magda]] ~~is the only commonly~~has a shielding-~~seen Elite~~ like property, and her shield provides her with ~~the property. Her Shielding functions the same as shields do on random enemies~~limited invulnerability, but the on/off of timer for the shield ~~seems to be set to~~ is based on events during her ~~hit points~~ battle, rather than triggering on a semi-random timer~~. Her shield turns on with about 75%, 50%, and 25% of hit points~~.

'''Shielding'''

Slowing effects that rely on hitting the enemy, such as [[Entangling Shot]], or stunning attacks like [[Seismic Slam]] are generally ineffective against shielded enemies. Area effects like [[Caltrops]] may still work though, so adjust your tactics accordingly.

~~It seems that~~ Mercifully, Shielding can '''not '''pair with [[Shielded Minions]] on the same boss and his pack~~; at least it's not yet been reported by any players~~.
