Upon second thought... I agree direct damage absorption would be insane... I suppose a better fix for icy slab would be to have it fire it’s projectiles automatically every 2s at the nearest target for the duration of the shield. Regardless shimmering should only be effective at far more health scaling and slab should scale off mag and both should have their mag restores removed, stamden really doesn’t need that kind of defense, pvp dps doesn’t need that kind of ult gen, and defenses should cost something for balance sake.
This change cannot be done in a vacuum however, magdens need some serious buffs to be viable in pvp and pve.
