Sch in the new benchmark trailer

[Dearche]

The thing is...The game has always been very specific about how to represent shields and barriers visually. They always have some sort of geometric pattern on the surface of the barrier if only to imply some form of structural defense, that being hexagons, weave of lines or triangular crystals (in Sage's case).

This spell looks so flat. The sphere is just a green bubble, which makes me think it might not be a shield. Maybe it's just a shorter version of the "Lost Bubble" spell from Bozja, extending the tank's max HP for a set amount of time. It would be like a shield yes with the difference that it is not really consumed by damage.

That's a neat idea, but it suffers from one issue: HP extension is practically speaking, the same as a shield. Just that others can help boost the effect once damage comes in.

Though speaking of that, the spell effect does kinda look like Nascent Flash on WAR, though the effect there is a drain.
