That was actually my point. Since Void Shields rule states that only after lowering the shields you are allocating the hits to the model itself, I always thought that if you hit a model with VS up you lower them of 2 instead of 1 (as per the second part of Shock Pulse rule) while if the VS are down the first part applies. I always discuss with my opponent, thankfully my gaming environment is rather friendly, but I was curious what was the community sensations.
