Don't get me wrong, Crow, I love when I see HOR pops up on my mage...but I'm not counting on it to happen. In fact...I play a mage like mage classes are traditionally played...away from the enemy. Expedition rifle beats mythic staff for that reason alone. And when I need to get close for a clock drop...I have my own 2 second invulnerable shield to cast, and a panic pet to use when it's on cool down for my next clock.
Also...we haven't seen the stats exactly yet. I'm here hoping they learned from the lvl 31 weapons and know how to better balance the shield this time around...don't be surprised if the damage and defense of the shield is nicer than you're expecting.
In other words...I'm speculating a possible positive unkowns, rather than speculating possible negatives (shocking that I'm not being too cynical, huh?).
