Lightning Shield, bugged?

[Elly]

Anyone else use Lightning Shield?

It's supposed to last ten minutes but within a few times of getting hit it disappears. The description says nothing about that happening. I'm wondering if I should bother about going to Rank 2 with it if it's bugged because right now I need it but not it's no use if it keeps blumming deactivating every 2 minutes. :hanky:

Is it disappearin cuz its hittin a monster or it just disappears? I THOUGHT it worked like that it stays till it hits a monster then you lost one of the orbs of it. I mean I am not in beta so I got no clue bout it really but my guess is, if it doesn't disappear from a mob then submit it as a bug

Ahh see I didn't read it like that last night. I can see that's how it works now. Mind you, when it casts I get three balls then a second later two disappear. I thought that was to keep things from getting too busy.

I'll have to do some more testing because I'm not terribly enamored with it just now.

I think Solesteeler mentioned in his journal on the community board that it disappears when the 3 balls are used or after 10 mins. Ergo I'll conclude it's not a bug ;)

Thou I'm not in beta, so it might actually be a bug... :p

Yep, that's what the description says. Trouble is the two balls disappear after casting, standing still doing nothing, almost instantly. So this is why I'm wondering if it's a design decision by Blizzard or a bug.

I have LS too and the two balls that dissapear might remain once you have rank 2 and 3. BTW, I think LS is a great spell. When I'm herbalizing around low lvl creeps it really zaps them. As far as for high-end mobs, it "will" be a more useful spell if they do give you all three balls, as it only takes a few hits for it to disappear.

maybe you will just have to put a couple more in it and see what happens elly... i think thkleinp might be right about needed rank 2 or 3 to get all the balls... and if it doesn't work then oh well, its just beta so its not like you're paying for that character :lol: hopefully it works like its supposed to and you don't waste those but i'm sure starting another character wouldn't be too bad since you could try out a whole new set of skills for us to mooch info from :)
