In light of the new Equilibrium changes, lets change shields?

Mages Guild: Equilibrium:

This ability and its morphs’ Health to Magicka trade value is now determined by your character level, instead of scaling with your Max Health; it restores 3000 Magicka for 6000 Health at Rank IV.

This ability and its morphs now reduce all of your healing done and damage shields you create by 50% for 4 seconds, instead of preventing you from healing yourself.

Developer Comment:
This updated design to Equilibrium matches the direction for many changes that were made in Update 14 where resources restored by abilities are a flat value instead of scaling with your stats. We’re making Equilibrium match the paradigm of being universally useful for all characters, instead of being primarily a tool for tanks to get a massive amount of Magicka back. Additionally, some players heavily rely on damage shields for survivability, so the healing penalty of this ability could be circumvented. It now affects all healing and damage shields done, but the value of the penalty has been reduced to compensate.

How about Minor/Major Defile effecting Shields? Wouldn't that be something?

Those debuffs affect healing received. Has nothing to do with Shields

I know i know, im more just poking fun at the new changes to the ability. It reduces shield strength by 50% and healing. Healing debuffs obviously should not effect shields. Just having fun on my birthday
