[dev1206] The effects of Protect and Shell have been made mutually exclusive

[viion]

The problem is it does not make sense, either a localization error on the specific dev1206 or Shell is missing.

Some ppl need to actually read the notes instead of skimming them. However seems protect will work more like barrier which to me is good. Honestly how often did mages cast only shell and no protect? So now that Enhanced protect works for magic (old Shell) why all the tears? You only lost the name not the effect. Also it makes Protect mean something. Protect me from physical and magic is good i dont care what you called it.

But there is no Shell...

Ok so they combined the two...can anyone tell me where it follows FF logic?

Yes thats what Im complaining about it makes no logical sense!

No the problem is that it says only one effect can be active @ an time which makes no sense must be an error, all i can think of.

Might as well just name it Barrier...

They should have named it Wall or something but pro and shell have been one spell before it makes sense.

For my part, I miss the Shell name. They should have just changed the name from Protect to Barrier to make it more in line with the cannon. Then later they can release Protect and Shell on a different mage class.

But I might be a bit nitpicky about this.

Also, It would be nice to have a spell that works like the AOE force-field in the LL opening CS....

I wonder if that whole idea has been scrapped..

Maybe Shell will be a White Mage job spell.

So when you do Enhanced Protect, does it overwrite, then overwrite, then overwrite, then overwrite, then overwrite, then overwrite, then overwrite, then overwrite, then overwrite .. *300 seconds later* then fade?
