Nekro Changes Discussion

[Zeus]

Lol u got me wrong again. It's just an example. No need get excited that much mate. It's just a suggestion of having a reduction benefit as better shielding. Nobody wants a 2 hit broken shield from elite mobs/boss. Do you?

The shield in the current form already has a damage reduction calculation in play. Actually, it's the exact same one that the mage shield uses. However, the potential max damage taken is drastically reduced. I believe it's around 1.6k-1.7k reduced damage at L41? So, the way the Nekro shield works is that a hit will hit you, the 20% damage reduction goes into play. If reducing the damage 20% takes the damage so low that armor will cancel out the damage, you get hit for 0. Otherwise, the hit (now 20% reduced will hit you). This applies until the shield's potential max damage taken is met at which point the shield breaks.

What you're asking is for this function but for a guaranteed 7-8 seconds of it thereby removing the potential max damage taken variable in the above formula. Along with the slowing down opposing enemies, speeding up allies, and terrifying enemies, this would make the pet way too overpowered. It would basically be a secondary sorcerer shield with a guaranteed 7-8 second duration (even sorcerer shield has a potential max damage taken formula).

The sorcerer max damage taken formula is: (((2*strength)+intelligence)*3.5)
