This is what it says (word for word):

Manifest a protective shield that causes incoming damage to be reduced by 30% for 10 seconds (or until a certain amount of damage have been absorbed, based on your STR and INT).

Before it was 500 now its unknown. Other skills have the amount of damage done or life healed. This should specify a number and change as your stats increase. Why wasn't this done?
