This makes us vulnerable at anytime of the fight because we have no realistic buffs (veil dmg is broken so it's hardly useful). Just putting another perspective out there, and the smart mages know this already which is why they excel in 1v1s.
Also, the Mage shield does indeed work as proven by your screenshot; you do see a damage difference. Even if the shield doesn't work, your OP root proc definitely works so be happy you get two procs.
