Question on shields against DoTs

[KarstenS]

do shields prevent dot damage?

We have in this game 2 ways of getting DoTs and Debuffs.

1. The ability of the enemy does just put up the DoT/Debuff -> no way to prevent it with shields.

2. The ability of the enemy does some damage and put up a DoT/Debuff -> in the most cases, when you fully migitate the direct damage of that ability with shields, you also prevent the DoT/Debuff.
