Make them perform like regular shields, therefore if you have shield pen, it actually works on them. Gives more incentive for melee characters to try shield pen gear. Just a thought.

I think theres a slight difference in the mechanics between massive (thralls, galilea) and energy shields, if they’d make the massive shields penetrable, it’d turn galilea, for example, into a free kill, her lifesteal ability wouldn’t by far be enough to keep her alife, her impenetrable shield is what saves her ass…
On the other hand, the worn shields of boldur and isic are actually energy based, so shieldpen should apply to them too…
Long story short, if you make the massive shields penetrable, they all should be, which turns the whole blocking thing useless, for players and npc’s, and thrall shields break anyway with enough damage

yeah they still can break, but they can recharge. I only mentioned thrall shields, and only mean thrall shields. they be like you call it ‘energy’ based, susceptible to shield pen.
