[h2][b][Class Balance][/b][/h2] Dev Comments: Our goal has always been to make "Shielding" a counter to burst damage, but they haven't been performing well enough. This update aims to extend the duration of most shield effects, allowing players to activate shields before engagements, providing more reliable and forgiving benefits for team play.
