Pretty sure cones are area attacks, which cannot be blocked or parried.

Take a Ready maneuver or several to kneel behind the shield and use it as Cover DR, not a block. Because you can't block an area effect.

The attack gets blocked. If you use the optional damage to shields rule, the shield might be damaged or destroyed and the arm underneath might take some damage too.
