Misleading Glintstone Blunderbuss Proc Effect
I'm loving the proc itself (+7.0 dmg and increased movement speed) and I love the crystalline pylon portion of the effect, but the greenish shield effect is just confusing.
Firstly the shield proc is visually misleading because isn't protective - it doesn't reduce or avoid incoming damage in any way, it increases outgoing damage :ambivalence:. And, during gameplay, because a player's attention is focused on multiple points on the screen, a sorcerer may mistakenly believe their shield is up when it is not and die because of the mistake. This may or may not have happened to me. ;)
Secondly, the proc interferes with sorcerers who have Nekro and who are attempting to properly time the shield skill with the Nekro aa. I often end up triple-stacking shields in an attempt to ensure I have some kind of shield up. The triple-stacked shields make my character look like an energized, seizure-inducing orb of light.
May I suggest a greenish electric effect similar to the Talon aa? It would be an easy recolor and would make the gun proc more visually appealing as well as more visually accurate.
