That one is always on, unless you exemplar more than 3 levels beneath the level of the enhancement.

If an IO says "Chance to" or "for 120 seconds", then it's use-activated. If it doesn't, then it's always on, and follows the same rules as a set bonus.

Just stick it in True Grit instead, and you can benefit from it at much lower levels.

Well, only false depending on what level the Steadfast Protection IO is. |

If you place a level 30 (max lvl) into One with the Shield, then you'll lose it's benefits
if you exemp below level 38 because you won't have OWTS anymore.
If you put it into True Grit, you'll have it all the way down to level 27 (-3 to the IO).
Personally, I agree with putting it into True Grit.
In fact, I just put one into my brand new, just hit level 27 Shield Tank.
2 level 30 common Resist IO and 1 level 30 SP Resist/Def IO costs me 0.3% resistance and gains me +3% Defense (bringing total defense up to just under 30% without any other IO bonuses yet...don't have any other sets slotted yet)
6000+ levels gained and 8 level 50's

Global: This enhancement functions as a set bonus and is always on, even if in a toggle that is turned off or even if the power is greyed out because of exemplaring. However, the bonus of this Special IO is turned off if one exemplars more than three levels below the level of the Special IO itself, unless it's from a PvP Set, in which case, level doesn't matter and it will always work.

By putting it in True Grit, you can benefit from it as early as level 7, if it's a level 10 IO, or 27 if it's level 30. By putting it in OWTS, you can't get its benfit before level 38.
For exemplaring purposes, it's true that it doesn't matter where it ends up. But while levelling, it makes a big difference.

He already has one with the shield, so it's irrelevant.

Hi,
I wanna slot the Steadfast Protection Unique Defense IO(3%) into One with the SHield (Shields set),
but my question now is, will it only be active once i have used One With the Shield(like the Stealth IO's work), or will it just remain active all the time, even if i did not use One With the SHield ?
Greetz Sha
Edit: i just tested it, its working.
Thanks anyway
49 level 50's(CoH/V), cant be arsed to list em all :P
