[1.7.3] Shattering Blow has underdefined description

#1 Post by trungaczne »

Shattering Blow's description mentions that it will remove a temporary damage shield, but this is misleading, it can remove any beneficial effect of subtype shield, which includes Providence (only provides status cleanse) and Storm Shield (which doesn't fall under "damage shield" if we go by the the Aegis tree's descriptions).

I think it should just mention "shield" instead of "damage shield" here. Also, it should mention that it requires a 2 handed weapon.

Now, that someone brought it up:

- Sunder Armour (on some NPC basetypes)

- Impale (on Mindslayers)

are do exctly the same thing.

The description is very misleading, it only says: temporary damage shields

but in reality, they checking also the subtype of the effect, so also removing any "shield" subtype effect.

The "shield" subtype was being widely used in cases where it should not have been. Created request to limit the use of shield subtype to effects with a limited damage absorption total. Specifically, any magical shield affected by Aegis or shield power/duration bonuses (Barrier, Shield Rune, Displacement Shield, Time Shield, etc), and Psi Damage Shield (granted when you "spike" a Mindslayer shield) and Resonance Shield. Removes subtype from many effects that grant other types of protection, such as damage negation, damage redirection, flat damage cap, negative life, negative effect removal, and so on. Additionally, clarifies the description of Shattering Blow, Sunder Armour and Impale to indicate that only one shield will be removed and is chosen at random.
