Looking for a stamina shield ability and it hit me. BONESHIELD!?!?!?!?! I slotted that BadBoii only to turn into a SadBoii which resulted into one MadBoii. That ability is kinda poopy : /

The shield strength is based off your max health.

Yeah... I thought it was somewhat ok, even with the little extra health from foods. I was only trying it out while questing. I only really asked because I saw a thread the other day with someone complaining about it. They said they kicked their DPS because he had BONESHIELD. I guess play how/what ya want doesn't always fly with people XD

Not sure if it still does, but I tried it on a BubblePlar a while ago stacked with Blazing Shield.

As long as you can look after your resource pools it was ok.

I ran it before 1T sets came in so was sitting about 65k+ health in Cyro.

With points in bastion I could have 20k+ shields so the return damage got pretty high.

Worked well back then, but I haven't played that kind of build in months so can't comment on its current viability.

the damags return morph is broken last I heard, either way it's far too expensive for what it is.

Use it on my DK shield tank as an alternate or addition to Igneous shields when the situation calls for it.

The damage returned worked as of pre-homestead, not sure how it is now though. It was decent for me in duels as a magplar when I was trying it out.

You can eat almost anything in the game with a healthplar stacking both bs (get it bullshhhhh) weave in your heavy stacks, stack mag regen, gg. Pirate skeletons is nuts when stacking both too. I really just use it for the synergy to melee dps.

I only block a few things, like vhrc end boss.

I've started leveling my Argonian Templar through Undaunted as a healer.

With heavy armor and almost 20k health, I LOVE synergizing Bone Shield as my health bar gets 50% bigger, I get return of resources through undaunted passives, and as a result I can stay offensive or focused on healing others and maintaining buffs without worry for my own health bar. I feel invulnerable for a few seconds.

I appreciate very much everyone who runs it in my 4 man groups!

Just pretend this skill doesn't exist.

I don't get any complaints from people whenever I've run it. People have asked me why I used it and I'd tell them that it was mostly to help the healer out with a free group shield as well as up my own survivability as a Stamblade and they never pressed further than that. It was fairly useful in 1v1 as well prior to Homesteads, which was the last time I ever tried the skill.
