Reduction modifiers are only active when an attack hits the shield. Basilisk smoke does not have a direct collision point and thus will always ignore a shield. Seath's crystal, while it doesn't actually make any sense, can be blocked with a shield. I'm not sure about them though so the next time I get to Seath i'll try testing the affect on build-up.
