Question Couple of Questions Mana Shield

Can mana shield spell Reach over 70% absorb if trained? if so what is the max absorb percent?

if using mana shield can you stack it with any other shield such as flame shield or paramistic shield?

Thanks

Maxing out Mana shield trained is 7 Spirit (mind is for it's duration), Potions are not 7 spirit.

Yes you can stack mana shield with other shield spells, as they are not related.

I have no idea where you go the number 70% so no I wont confirm that.


Yes Find weakness works with spells as well as melee skills.

Keep in mind there are some types of damage that the mana sheild will not help you with.

All I can really think of is poison atm... But you will want to avoid mana drain as much as possible. Both the spell and the traps. Kind of a given of course but since SP will be part of your over all endurance and the mana drain spell can drain you very quick I figured I'd mention it anyway.

Certain arrows go right through the shield. I do not know if it applies to all arrows, all peirce damage or just certain arrows. I was hoping someone else would pop up with the answer.

Most of the time nothing gets close enough for me to notice phisical damage, unless I am lagging in which case a few minutes later I note that I am dead and wonder how that happened. Where I notice it is with a particular live quest.

I've noticed sometimes the arrows from elves go right through mana shield too. Mostly it's an issue of poison though. and fire traps, which for my mages are not much of an issue.

It depends how much damage is dealt by the arrow/fire trap. basically, if you get hit by a spell that does very little (like 2-5) dmg per hit, the mana shield may not pick it up. as you have more spirit, the mana shield will start absorbing damage earlier. i've noticed it on not only fire traps, but also other spells doing very small damage.

Also, I was always under the assumption that 7 spirit = 90% mana shield. That's what I heard years upon years ago when I started playing.

I'm fairly sure that's right.

The arrows in the live quest that I am thinking of do 20-30 damage. The mana shield I normally use is cast with 5 spirit and it takes none of the damge from those arrows.

Then again the way things have been changing, what I said may no longer be true.
