The new shield buff masteries?

So far with the Runic Armor and Windspeaker's Blessing masteries, you can have an 18% buff on your self shields and heals. I've read and re-read the tool tips thoroughly, and they don't specify what type of shields, just general shields? So I tested it on Annie, and her Molten Shield is unaffected by this 18% buff. I feel as if the tool tip suggests all shields. So realistically her shield should offer more armor and MR, and more damage on getting hit by basic attacks? Any expertise on the matter? Am i missing something?

unfortunately although windspeaker's blessing sounds like it should effect you, it is only effected on allies and not yourself so you only can get the 8% shield in runic armor

For some reason it doesn't state it before starting the game, I had been trying a barrier shielding lulu and was confused why it didn't have an even bigger shield xD

Ugh. Such a misleading tool tip. But thank you for the reply. I'm still concerned about the 8% though, Runic Armor specifies all shields. Minus Annie's shield that is. But you know, Molten Shield isn't classified as a shield i guess hah =D

Very poorly named if you ask me... "Molten shield"

Molten Shield is not a shield, thats all

It's for shields that actually give you a barrier, not buffs like Annie's E.

When they say shields, they mean like item 3190 type shields where they appear on your health bar. Armor and magic resist buffs are unaffected, but can be increased by healing or shielding an ally during them.
