Elemental Protection
Effect: Blocking with a shield reduces incoming fire, frost, and shock damage by 50%.
Requirement: Block 50
Prerequisite: Deflect Arrows	Allows: Block Runner

Elemental Protection is one of the nine Perks of Block in Skyrim.

EffectEdit

Blocking with a shield reduces incoming fire, frost, and shock damage by 50%.

RequirementEdit

• Block level of 50

UsefulnessEdit

Elemental Protection is a great asset when fighting dragons, giving dark elves immense resistance to fire and nords an immense resistance to frost that can make a dragon's dive bombing attacks almost harmless. A single elemental resistance item of armour can make other races without a base elemental resistance incredibly hardy against it as well.

Needless to say, the benefit of having a shield is invaluable when fighting elemental mages as well. Having the shield raised when approaching a mage may not be as effective as simply charging at them without other block perks however.
