    We double ran the numbers on this so here are some of the facts to help the discussion, which needs to slow down on the snarky remarks please.

    Nekro Shield
    - Lasts 10 seconds if not broken by damage
    - 40% Damage reduction for duration
    - 15 second debuff where you cannot be reshielded

    Glowstik Shield
    - Lasts 6 seconds if not broken by damage
    - 95/75/55/35/15% Damage Reduction, each section lasts 1.2 seconds with an average damage reduction of 55% for duration
    - 15 second debuff where you cannot be reshielded

    The main point of interest here is that if the entire Nekro Shield is up for the full 10 seconds, its shield is more effective than Glowstik's. If Nekro's shield is broken early by damage then Glowstik's shield is better, as the total potential mitigation of damage is much larger (by around 150% at level 61)

    We don't have any plans to change Glowstik at this time.
