    Default 8 second interval between glowstik shields

    After gaining the first glowstik shield, it takes a 8 second interval (starting after the first shield has worn off) before you can gain the shield again from another glowstik.

    Why can't it just be 5 - 6 seconds like nekros shield intervals? Glowstiks shield only lasts 6 seconds compared to nekros 8 +/- second shield.

    6 seconds between nekro shields. nekro shield lasts more than 8 seconds.

    I wonder if the rest of your post is anywhere near correct

    I wonder if you own a glowstik

    If there's one thing the majority of players that comment on glowstik related threads have in common. Its that they don't own the pet and just feel the need to comment

    Its 8 seconds dude. Get your facts right before making such comments. Your second sentence kinda made you look like a ... well, I'm sure you've realised by now.

    Do you even have nekro? (-_-')

    Keep in mind this person will say just about anything to buff glow stick. He even claimed that the 95% shield was not functioning as intended. I personally tested and it in fact was. Maybe he forgot to equip his gear or was lagging.

    You should double check sir, before posting.

    Nekro's shield lasts, from the moment of application on the player, about 10.5 seconds. It's cooldown is 26 seconds. The time needed between application of consecutive shields is 6 seconds. That is why having more than 2 nekros in your pt both in Pve and PvP is inefficient and unnecessary.

    All the above information has been discussed on the forum numerous times. Additionally if you don't believe it, use a stopwatch and test it yourself, as I have done back in the day.

    As for having nekro, I have had it since the first day of the lvl 46 (forty six) expansion...

    So the OP got everything about nekro wrong, which makes it reasonable to question the correctness of the rest.

    Its around 8 seconds mate. You just sound bored. Had a bad day perhaps? Someone roasted you well maybe? The fact that you're so focused on such a useless topic seems to make that the case. Whether you're wrong or I'm right or vice-versa, it just looks pathetic that you're so focused on 2+/- seconds (even though the time I stated is not that far off).

    Anyway, this is about the 8 second interval between glowstik shields.

    You keep dodging the question btw. Ill ask again, do you own a glowstik? Because you don't really have the right to question the validity of the statement of one who does and has tested it.

    "He" when you don't know my gender. Tsk, tsk. I presume you don't own a glowstik from this comment.

    "Forgot to equip his gear" lol.

    When it doesn't work for you but it works for the 'kingofninja's' you're automatically a liar. The logic of this forum's community baffels me.

    Stay on topic mate. This is about the 8 second interval of glowstik shields. Not your need to make useless comments.

    Nekro shield lasts 8 seconds
    Cooldown before use another shield is 5 seconds. Not 6
    And yes imo it should have same cd as nekros shields.

    Jazzi was questioning the validity of my statement. It is logical to question whether Jazzi is in possession of a glowstik and has tested the interval time between the shields. Someone who does not own one doesn't really have the right to question the accuracy of the statement of one who does and has tested it.

    But the following comments was even necessary? We get it you got glowstick so? Is that a reason you try to insult people just becoz he/she in your mind doesn't have a glowstick? Come on if you make a thread expect to receive all types of commenters if you can't then don't make a thread at all ty.

    Stop this guys. It clearly looks like you have a personal vandetta against the OP and it really looks disturbing. I don't think I've seen this on these forums before.

    I believe its called bullying and it's against the ToS.

    You should stop.

    The OP is just trying to find out why Glowstik has a longer interval time between the shields than Nekro.

    This thread is clearly about the interval time between glowstik shields, whereas the other thread by the same OP was about the damage reduction granted by glowstik.

    What exactly are you claiming here?

    Going by your first comment, it seems that you didn't even know what this thread was about but saw the OP's name and decided to make an attack.

    You're right. But it's not just these people who are at fault, the OP has quite the attitude that can spark some arguments. It would be best if they (Perceval) would moderate their attitude, as well as the others who replied.
    I realize it's hard. I'm really hot headed at times too, when it comes to stuff that pisses me off... But that's not helping the discussion, try to understand that, Perceval

    I can't time Nekro's duration right now, but I've always been told to wait 5 seconds between shields, and it's worked for me (although I always count slowly, since I have a tendency of starting to count with 1 instead of 0).

    I don't own Glowstik, so I'll assume it's 8 seconds like OP said it seems pretty rough given how the shield only lasts 6 seconds (it's already difficult to make the 95-75% damage reduction really count! Or so I assume).
    I haven't seen a lot of replies commenting on this, but I think it's a bit too much. Of course it could turn out to be overpowered, but I can't really tell :s
