[Stage] You can't use SSS moves under light shield any more.

[SmashedJane]

I was wondering why I kept dying when I was using light shield so I tested it out and none of the S attacks work any more. SA, SSA, SSSSS etc all cancel light shield. Sorry if it's old news but it makes the skill worse than it was. Before you could use light shield and SSSSS to get yourself out of tricky situations now you can't do that without getting hurt. Now you can't really do anything under light shield.

oh john how sad ;( is it a glitch?

[1stsim144]

its a patch.

any skills that grant invincible frame , especially for a party, is beyond hax if you can abuse it. I dont see anything wrong if you cant attack.

similarly for krieg mdef.

Kali's Phantom Fantasia seems to go against what you're saying up to a point. Meatshield that regens HP and MP and invincible for 15 seconds D:

Except with that, you can't attack and you have to aim that junk.

Phantom Fantasia will also kill whoever it hits if they're at zero HP :P Lots of Kalis don't even bother putting 1 skill point into that skill (although IMHO, since the duration at level 1 is the same as max, 1 skill point is a cheap price for the ability to create mobile meat shields, even if it's not as good as most Kalis would like)

At any rate, if they're going to gimp light shield so much, the least they could do is lower its ridonkulously long cooldown time. A light shield potion (easily available via bead quest) has a shorter CD, IIRC, for crying out loud.

You're hardly ever going to stand in front of a boss to cast it though.

Indeed, but being on seperate cooldown and it being a bit different would make up for it I'd think.

The skill's advantages: Party use, cd will decrease with dex, can be used at 0 HP.

The potion's: Can be used while airborne (ex: Lunia's moon boomerang given you're not at 0 hp yet), lower cd, lasts noticeably longer on higher level ones.

Also, it's an advantage to use BOTH while playing my Healer, cause stuff happens and I just need to save my ass. Being able to SSSSS would be nice, but in most situations I use LS, a Pentagram or 2 wouldn't change much... Just use Endurance and Flawless If you wante any attacking done.

It changed back in TFT. At first Light Shield was a god skill for dainns back in OB since Light Shield was bypassable with elemental skills. Though that factor only worked for Dainn and some skills sieg had.

Its funny cause in the Asuka/Myth 3 patch Eir's no longer need reagents for anything except Resurrection. I guess that was the compensation for skill change which is yet another situation Eir's get the short end of a stick in another patch.
