Hi,

You are right. I didn't address it and I will now. You know how WHM and DRK have shields as well? Now I know they work on percentage and not potency. This is how AST shields can work. It will stack with SCH shields but it just wouldn't be as powerful. How would it be a nightmare? SCH shields would always be top notch over AST and the AST shield will just be a tiny bit more mitigation along side of it with also the added regen effect as well. For AST/AST combo. Yes the regens can stack much like WHM/AST can now or AST/AST but the shield will not. Now I know this can get confusing but it's really simple. If AST 1 cast aspect helios and gives the party regen and shield effect and let's say AST 2 does the same thing to give a secondary regen effect. Now since AST 1 already cast it first and the shield is still on the party it will not overwrite it. Now it will add a shield to those who doesn't have one like the tank usually since their shields always tend to come off first.
