Rework / Buff Mana Shield Set Bonus for PvP Viability
Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2026 7:14 pm
Having Mana Shield as a set bonus is absolute trash. A flat +285 absorption is completely useless in real PvP and is nowhere near worth wasting a set bonus slot for.
Overall, Mana Shield in its current state is terrible—the absorb is so low that it completely fails to justify the massive mana drain. If it’s going to cost that much mana and take up a set slot, it needs to actually offer utility. At the very least, it should grant a few seconds of spell pushback/knockback protection after it breaks so non-Frost Mages can actually get a cast off.
