This was my impression as well. The problem with this idea though is that Sage already has so many mobility options that it doesn’t really need the extra movement in the first place. Between Dosis slide-casts, Phlegma charges, Eukrasian Dosis and even putting up Eukrasian Diagnosis / Prognosis, you already have a lot of options, so a lot of the time it ends up not being worth applying the shield even if you do need to move, because the potency is only equal to Dosis, and it’s rare you’ll be moving so frequently that you literally cannot devote 1.5s to Dosis lol. I think increasing the potency of Toxicon is the best way to address that; lowering the dps penalty for using it would do a lot to make the Addersting mechanic feel less restrictive. That way there’s meaningful decision making in using Toxicon over Dosis other than ‘I want to lower my own dps’ lol
