<<The Ethereal Shield spell has been changed slightly. The protections it gives against various spells have been altered. You will notice a change in protection versus Elemental Spells based on the Static Charge your shield has. Also, the protection effect it has against non-Elemental based spells has been reduced a bit.>>
OK, has anyone noticed anything yet? I almost thought this post was a joke at first considering that ES is only good for SD and that's about it. So if get's downtweaked even more that it already was . . . . no biggie. I'm just curious as to what.
I know that even with ES up, I can still get burnt, frostbitten and such. So whatever overpowerness there was to it, not sure if we'll ever know. LOL!.

<<It was the barrier interactions between other spells. Unfortunately it is a downtweak, because the formula was plain wrong.>>
Garsh! First downtweak that we didn't all get POd about. LOL! I can get use to this.

Cause we cant tell how much of a downtweak it was heh. As long as it still semi blocks all magic we didnt loose anything but a lil protection.
Maybe we could get neat lil spells like Fire Shield or Electric shield or earth shield that stregthen ES and give it some other property. Well fire shield would be mantle of flame but for the rest of the elements would be neat. Like Electricty would let brawlin do a lil gar zeng type unbalance zap when it connects, earth would make a lil more defense for physical stuff, air would kind of act like SW or possibly add impact dmg, fire same as usual, and aether would suck mana on a hit maybe? I dunno something like that would be a neat add on to ES.

>>Thats what I wanna know. How did they decide it was overpowered now when nothing but players have magic. Unless there going off of PvP?
If I understand correctly, it's not that it was overpowered. There was a bug in the code for the spell, such that the effective strength was being calculated in a way that didn't take into account all of the intended factors. Basically, part of the spell's code wasn't executing at all, and now it is. It was a bug fix, not a downtweak. There really is a difference.

>Because of the bug it was near enough impossible to MB or HB someone who had a ES on.
Woe is me, i'll have to resort to psychic shield to block MB, and mantle of flame to burn off the spiders now...
...wait, nothing's changed.

Er if nothing changed why do you have to use PS and MOF now? You do realize that the protection visible there so astoundingly also was in other spell types including target spells. Most notably a very large damage reduction to TM spells. Either way have fun walking around begging moon mages for psychic shield.

A friend of mine awhile ago asked me to test how much mana it took for me to MB em
took me 25 mana without es and he blocked a capped (65 mana) MB, without so much as lowering its duration.
I mean how could that possibly overpowered?
for most spells you didn't notice it but on some spells it destroyed the power of the spell.
