From what I have seen from my Paladin, Shield Mastery makes everything your Shield does better, from the number of times you block to the amount of damage you can cause from Flank and Angel's Wing. As you get better with Shield Mastery, you get better with Shield Jab. Yes, Shield Jab becomes automatic with time. The better you are at it and Shield Mastery, the more likely you'll get a free one off every round and the more damage you'll do! My 40th rank Storm Paladin only has a 90% in both the Mastery and Jab and I get one off about every or every other round and get a MUTILATE each time. It is well worth the time to practice because Shield Jab has the chance to knock your foe off his feet each time it connects, who doesn't want a free bash each round?
