Protect/Shell Duration Increase

[Delmontyb]

Checked in with the dev. team in regards to the effects or protect and shell and their duration. While there isn't much detail we can go into for specific spells/abilities, they wanted me to pass along their current vision for how they will address them going forward. The thinking is that if a spell has a "long duration," its effect should be less powerful, and on the flip side, a spell with a "short duration" will have a more ample effect alongside it.

Thanks for checking this out. I for one find that casting it so often can be a pain. I'm all for increased the amount of MP cost to make up for the difference in time it lasts. And I'm also for having short buffs and long buffs as well. I guess I've just come to expect that protect and shell spells should last for a little while since they are viewed as pivotal.
