Friendly Shielding vs Material Wall

[Tamui]

Ok, so I was deciding to get a buff on my setup and I decided on a defensive one. So, a Conjurer got 4, all in Sorcery; Shifting Silhouette, Friendly Shielding, Magic Barrier and Material Wall.
So I ruled out Shifting Silhouette without a second of a though as the Miss chance is based purely on luck.
Then I ruled out Magic Barrier as more than have have Physical damage.
So two remain. I'll list the Pros and Cons of what I think of both buffs.

Friendly Shielding
30% Protection on level 5.
Duration: 60s Cooldown: 25s Mana: 110

Pros:
Protection gives resistance to all kinds of damage.
Low Mana Cost
Low cooldown that can keep two ally buffed at all times

Cons:
Dependent on ally's Armour Points
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Material Wall
30% Resistance to Physical Damage on level 5.
Duration: 120s Cooldown: 120s Mana: 350

Pros:
Best buff for Conjurer for Physical Damage resistance.

Cons:
Cooldown is equal to duration, thus can only buff one target
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

What are your thoughts on those two spells?

[_Enio_]

Friendly shielding helps against damage from archers as it increases ap (which cuts off a fixed amount of incoming damage), matwall is great against damage from barbs because it decreases incoming damages %ual (the higher the damage, the more is cuts off).

I would always go for Matwall over Friendly shielding.

I like neither. Their overhead is just not worth it for the small benefits in my opinion.
Friendly Shielding is too weak on most of classes, is short, but at least works on all type of damage.
Material Wall works only vs Physical dmg, so warlocks and epic/jewelry gear enemies/marks won't be affected so much. It also has an obvious animation which is a MS target sign. Dur=Cd so only one buffed at a time. High mana cost...

I use matwall because i really dont have the mana/time to spam friendly shielding on
my allies, Ive had it in my setup and its a really good spell.

It really depends on your own playstyle

Don't use any of those personally. You'd save far more people if you had a couple more mental skills, or another self-heal/buff, or by crippling an opponent with mana burn... Yeah. These both kinda suck unless you're helping grinders. Knights do this stuff better.

yeah all those auras are OP, deflect barrier should be 20% not 40.

OT: it would be better to get lvl 1 mentals and mana burn, FS and MW wont do you much good in the WZ.
