[Mana shield needs a major nerf]

Clearly, this will be a nightmare to balance if we mess around with this. Let's leave Mana Shield as it is for now and just suggest some additions, then leave the heavy lifting (thinking/balancing) to the dev team. We definitely need more (and more diverse) mechanics so we can avoid problems like this in future. 

What dev team? The ones that let the economy destroy itself? The ones that can't fix crashing issues plaguing the server? The ones that removed runes but left rune materials dropping to this day? The ones that have let bots farm 24/7 in spots all day and night?  The ones that falsely banned people for "RMT" and only a very few can even get a real person to respond to them with anything more then boiler plate bull? Assuming they respond at all. The ones that have items disappear from their game and do nothing about it? They don't even know about the Gem dupe that is going around. 

The server is basically dead now and very few people even realize it. There is no reason to do PvE... nothing is worth anything. There is a reason to PvP in Honor gear, but the balance is so jacked up that its a nightmare to even consider. Pretty much every max level I know is barely playing the game now cause there is very little reason to do so. 

You are misplacing your faith if your putting on them for "thinking/balancing".

You spent, all that time digging through archives to come at me with .... that....? Me saying it should be reduced by 50% and REPLACED WITH SOMETHING ELSE (A net loss of nothing...)
This was also BEFORE they added in the re-cast cooldown of 4 seconds.

I don't know what's more apt for description, pathetic, or impressive.

Since this seems to be another sock-puppet account, might as well start collecting black-list registers. Welcome aboard chum. Maybe next time don't waste hours of your life to prove nothing and get ignored.

Completely ignoring the part where you clearly indicate the shield is too larger and needs to be cut in half. That shield is still just as large, but damage has gotten worse because of no runes making their effective shield compared to back then even better.

Even if that weren't the case, mages clearly need to be nerfed.

They are tankier then knights, deal more damage then most if not all classes, and have some of the best CC in the game. 

Hours? To copy and paste a post I know you to have made? Hardly. You are just mad I called you out for being the HYOPCRITE that you are.

It is until you blow through hall your mana in 15-20 seconds and die.

Are you being serious right now? Are we going to pretend like you weren't calling for Mage nerfs in 2017/18 on NARose for this exact same reason? Now you are playing a mage and you want to pretend like its not a problem?

You literally called for shield to be nerfed by 50% at one point. lul
