As a necro, I was never given access to the skill Arcane Shield, so I picked up Arcane Barrier. It has come to my attention that this skill is awful compared to the shield version:
Arcane shield: For 10 seconds, decreases the damage received by 70% and turns the remaining damage into MP Consumption. When MP becomes 0, the skill's effect disappears.
Arcane Barrier:For 20 seconds, 20% of the damage received will be applied to MP instead of HP. When attacked, reflects 10% the damage. When MP reaches 0, the skill effect is removed.
So for double the time, it is MUCH less effective? Is this accurate? Seems like an awful trade off and gives other wizards an extremely unfair advantage over a necro -> feoh wizard.
Anyone have any input?
