Maintenance for the week of September 8:
• [COMPLETE] PC/Mac: EU megaserver for maintenance – September 9, 22:00 UTC (6:00PM EDT) - September 10, 16:00 UTC (12:00PM EDT)

What I tested is the gap closer triggering shield for the Flight user ("if you are displaced by Leap ability") and not the knockback, because I did not have other person to Leap on me.
