Better displacement shield priority

#1 Post by ekeron »

I'm not sure if this is still going on but I read in the something awful forum that, when it comes to absorbing damage, displacement shield is only checked after damage and time shield. This means that it won't actually do anything as long as one of those shields are up.

This means that the only shield that can be mixed with displacement shield is disruption shield. For the archmage, this makes displacement shield a lot less appealing. Considering how the ability works, I think it should get priority over all the shields. Since it feels like the ability is more like a force multiplier for other shields.

And while I'm talking about displacement shield, could the description be improved a bit because initially I thought that it always absorbed damage with a chance of sending it back at its target. I'd never understood why some damage would still hit me when I had displacement shield on. I thought that maybe it was a bit buggy. It was some time before I read in the forum that if it doesn't redirect the damage, then it won't protect you at all.
