Force Armour & Self defence

[ieti]

Auras apply with 1s delay or more. But i find it amusing to see how they crawl in Static(3) + Push(3). You have to be in melee and prepare to be buffed good once they learn you cast that shite.

I Use it a lo, A LOT, the CD and duration ar nearly the same.
If you got a pretty decent set, the damage from hunters, marks (not with boss jew), warlocks dots, and most knoghts gets noticeable reduction, of course, not too much, but it gets.
As proteccion only works with low-medium damages, because its a flat damage reduction, it wont work with high damages, such as barbarians, in that case, % damage reduction are the best choice (Steeel Skin).

Later I'll upload some screens testing damage with, and without Force Armour !

If a support ju skills Friendly Shielding for an ally, then y not skill (identical effect) Force Armor for self. Hmmm? ... & as for it's blatant animation? ... easy ... just skill Bless & use it on every ally u can. At range, it's impossible for enemies to tell the difference, & even close up, it takes longer to single u out. Besides, additional to hit & spell focus are way cool, right?

It is true. Force Armour is great for the duration and CD AND mana. On low Mana, can be of help. I only wish I'd seen more effect. Maybe I'll try it again. And thanks if you upload.

ehm sure..
question! where would you get the powerpoints from?

(and friendly shielding is just great for its name its more for huntsupport/smallscale fights tho)

Here, against a marks without Ra, just to show damage reduction.

From 230~, to ~180, about 50 damage reduction, and almost 100 damage reduction when combined with Karma mirror,

I almost never used it, because in my opinion there's better spells to spend the points on, but here's my opinion about it :

Pros :
- Actually works as intended and doesn't rely on luck (So rare thing in Regnum to be noticed)
- First spell in Sorcery tree, cheap to get
- Low mana cost

Cons :
- Long casting time
- Dur != CD
- Makes you shine like a lightbulb = more targeted/MS'd
- One more buff to cycle, as if barrier, devotion, karma and mind blank weren't enough.
- Need high armor points for it to have a decent effect
- And yet still isn't tremendously effective, especially versus high damage dealers (partially thanks to the fixed damage reduction armor)

So I think it's nice in PvPish scenarios, but in RvR you'll still die in a split second no matter you use this spell or not if you don't pay attention.

I think that's a pro !
