Verification on fire/ice shield?

[Lacari]

Before anyone reads this and starts flaming, understand that I am a new player still becoming familiar with the mechanics of the game. I'm not complaining about the skill or the class, all is fair game for me but I want some verification on this.

Hmm so I came to Dragon Nest interested to take a look at what type of PvP the game has going for it and so far I like it. I mean its better than most right, you don't have to spend any money etc? I've only been playing for about a week now but out of all the skills in the game, 2 skills really caught my attention in PvP.

Fire/Ice shield, has no cooldown and lasts 21 seconds from what I'm hearing? This skill gives permanent super armor for elementalists. Is this a bug, because on the site it says that it should have a cooldown of 50 seconds at every level.

Unless this is wrong, which it might be, but I think it would be kind of unreasonable for the skills to give an elementalist permanent super armor, increased damage, chance to freeze and burn considering their damage output.

Even the "blacklisted" mercenary skills (I don't play a mercenary, just stating the class as an example.) which give them a super armor buff, at least have cooldowns and can be avoided because eventually it will run out.

I would find it hard to believe that this PvP community blacklisted the mercenary super armor skills, hacking slash and etc while overlooking a skill of this caliber or am I missing something?

I've watched many seemingly good players get trumped by the elementalist armor skills, by fairly NEW elementalists.

So, is the skill bugged or not is all I'm asking here.

There was a patch that changed the shields to a timed buff to a toggleable buff like Paladin's Auras. And added superarmor capable of withstanding any attack while casting a skill.

I'm pretty sure that that wiki isn't updated.

oh wow i see, thanks for telling me haha, okay damn thats crazy then. I guess the skill isnt that bad considering it drains the majority of their mana

just have to fight around it i guess?

[Zeplic]

Yeah.
Kite hard.

As a paladin. I avoid all skills until zap/smite while fighting a shield ele so i dont get hit by its side effects often

[Lacari]

ah, alright fair enough thanks for the help guys I really appreciate it I'll keep that in mind.
