horrid wilting vs shadow shield

[miltonyorkcastle]

But.... if you throw on a NEP item - it magically blocks it (magic globe immunity vfx). Crazy eh?

Yeah, I seem to recall that little oddity with items, which like the rest of it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but hey, just saying, if a cleric cast NEP on you, and you get hit by Horrid Wilting, it still hurts.

We're not taking out the spell.

Thank you Dorg for the reassurance!
 
 Its been my experience with the suggestion of some, that if different areas of the game seem to hard, the reaction has been to take things out, instead of asking people to use a little common sense and technique to overcome the difficulties of an area.
 
 As an Aeridinte I try to avoid fighting whenever possible and this is a means to stay in character, and still continue to be productive with my character.

The VFX is different for the NPCs then it is for a PC.

Taking this spell out is a very bad idea!

Agreed...

Don't think we have to worry about the spell going away

There is a known problem with having concealment and greater sanctuary effects on at the same time. Obviously a big concern for mages using shadow shield. Therefore we changed the GS spell so that it removed any concealment spell effects before applying the sanctuary. This means that it should not remove the death ward part of shadow shield for example.
This change actually helped the GS problem alot, but unfortunately it didnt fix it completely. It is just one of those bioware issues we have to live with. It is easier to adapt the lore of the world to make it a known dangerous spell IG.
