Since you're reworking Healing Ritual, Blazing Shield buff/redesign is also in to-do-list in future?

Will we have buffed/redesigned blazing shield somewhere in the future? (Like in the old days pre IC patch both magicka and stamina builds use it as a reliable defence/offence skill) Will it be ever happen again????????

I'm asking this because it is so useless in pvp. It makes me sad that one of the sexiest templar abilities bacame so useless for half of the game. Last time a year ago we used to see 70k troll health builds as the skill's glorious last stand before it gone completely extinct too due to the nerfs in general.

Since you are redesigning healing ritual, will blazing shield be the new ritual for the next 4 years no one ever spend skill points?
Plz no.

I'd like to see it become useful(worth to cast) again for both magicka and stamina builds around 25-30k health.

I think it just needs additional effects to make running this ability sexier. 3-4k shield with 23k health isn't terrible, but the cost and poor DMG makes this ability fail to protect Templars from enemies that decide to get close.

It needs something to punish players that decide to go toe-to-toe with a Templar, and sadly they stripped it down to pve tanking only usefulness.

let the cast blind all enemies in a 8 meter radius, so they will miss with all attacks in the next second.

Additional effects would be cool yes, or it could just work as it did before as 5k+ shield with strong pbaoe. The latter is the safe choice imo.
