Incoherent disruption shield behavior

[ghostbuster]

I think there is a bug in the mana calculation of the new disruption shield talent

getManaRatio = function(self, t) return math.max(3 - self:combatTalentSpellDamage(t, 10, 200) / 100, 0.5) * (100 - util.bound(self:attr("shield_factor") or 0, 0, 70)) / 100 end,

The higher the talent and the spell power, the lower the amount of mana that is got from a damage point.
It was coherent when mana was absorbed, but now,there is absolutely no reason to increase the talent level.

No why?
The higher level the less mana is generated, the longer the shield will hold.
It's a tradeoff, both high & low talent versions are useful, but in different ways

I haven't tried it, but I would imagine that an archmage would have no problem draining mana quickly enough to overcome an enemy's damage output in most cases. (eg. deactivate a sustain for 100-250 mana, inferno for 100+, etc...)

We must not play the same archmages .. mine regularily keep getting hit for huge amounts :<

OK, I missed the fact that there is no time limit. The shield just breaks at 25% mana
So for the shield effect it is coherent.
For the regen effect, with just a one-point investment, it will be weaker (more precisely take much longer) for a high-level char than for a low level one...
Probably needs experiments to find the good balance.
