Magic Protective Shield

yes. unabashedly yes. any of my ventrilo buddies will confirm this haha

Would suck as a whm 2hr because it's only really useful in a massive battle, not in a party where you get to many adds.

They received so many complaints about the "bubble" being in the opening cutscene and not in game, I can't believe they'd make the exact same error twice.

For me, I suspected that we'd see that infamous bubble in 2.0 since they seem to try and please every requests made, and this just confirmed it.

The Shield - Season II

(they renewed for another season yay)

I think that's just a dramatization of Protect

You see it in many cutscenes and even certain stages with it completely blocking enemy fire. ME3 lets you actually use it in multiplayer and it creates a zone which grants increased defense, offense and other things, which is most likely how I see it working for us in that case they add it as well.
Which, given some uncertain and most probably wrong information I heard about, means it'd probable be an Arcanist spell (I hear arcanist were originally planend to use 'trap tiles' and stuff)

That would be extremely nice. I do love that move during ME3 multiplayer when i'm trying to gather data at a location that is swarmed with enemy fire.

This!

Ive always believed it was just a physical representation of Protect. You can almost see it in game when you have protect up and you see a part of the bubble when you are attacked. I think its probably difficult or graphically intensive to render protect as a full bubble the entire time you have it up for every player on the screen.

Probably, but it kind of insinuates that you would have to stay near the caster to get the effect. I think they could render a half transparent sphere with some localized buff/debuff/DoT with no issue to performance. Would make for some interesting combat mechanics.

I so don't get it why they use skills in CGI that do nozt exist in the Game...
Thats like seeing a mcdonalds promotion telling you about that hamburger but you can't find it in any mcdonalds at all...
If we don't get it in 2.0 I start sending dead kitten parts to JP...
