Shielding Potions

Since a lot of quests now including isaac spouting mobs and such I'd like to see these implemented. The wand is only 1300 or something silly low like that.

Though I'd expect the potion form since it's considerably better to be about the same price as a Haste potion.

That is all.

Given wands can be crafted i am not sure why potions can't... it isn't *that* good of a spell as it only lasts a few rounds.

It lasts 5 turns. Longer than your blur potion. It also gives +4 ac, and makes you immune to the issaac spells.

It's badass.

Erm, they exist. I've got one on at least one of my PCs. Or, is it that they are uncraftable?

Unbreweable.

We'd prefer to see these rare.

Indeed,

And rest assured there are those of us that are not fond of it being sold in wand form as well. It is contested, yet indeed should be rare.

Goblin Butcher, you know just as well as us that these are so much better than just the missle immunity.

I do indeed know this, if that is the stance I firmly believe that wands need to be removed immediately. Considering they're 25 charges of it :/

Don't hate on wands!

Thomas_Not_very_wise Don't hate on wands!

Then don't hate on potions!

know what just ban all potions and wands period THEIR DONE!

i don't see why potions of this are so bad compared to wands for 25 charges for 1200~ish gold are OK, at the least up the price of the wands by a big ass amount

Shield potions are no better than Barkskin or blur potions really.

Blur gives DR and 10% chance to miss and barkskin lasts for ages and is +3 AC. They are all about even to me.

Blur also gives immunity to spells from circles 1 and 0, which actually seemed to absorb Isaacs Lesser Storm. Not sure :shock: It is actually a pretty awesome spell, though.

Blur does not absorb isaacs I assure you.

Oh and to Elf999 I wish I could have suckered a few shield potions out of you XD

Shield gives you +4 ac that stacks with all other ac on efu.

Basically you can use barkskin, Divine Shielding, shield and haste to get a MASSIVE amount of ac >.>

If you want to nerf Shield, then change it to give Natural AC instead of deflection so it doesn't stack with bark

Shield does not stack with divine shielding, PFE and whatnot, because it is deflection.

It's not THAT good when it comes to AC wise since most people have a +2 from PFE anyways. Even though yes, the other +2 can make a big difference.

shield is amazing, what?

Shield is NOT deflection ac it is SHIELD ac thus the only thing that it does not stack with is if you have a shield +1 (and even then it gives a decent boost)

Check mechanics before you comment on them!

I have cast shield of faith before and then drank a shield potion because I was being hit with magic missle. My AC remained at 30 (Barks, shield of faith, magic vestment)

It does not stack, from what I have seen on EFU

You had MAGIC VESTMENT placed on your shield no doubt. (Magic vestment on shield counts as + shield ac thus won't stack with shield)

Magic vestment doesn't work on shields.

Er yes it does Ghyrrt, you can place it on your shield to make your shield a + shield same with your full plate, your thinking of divine shield I think or just trolling. >.>

It's been changed for EfU idiot.

Dodge is the only type of AC that stacks, and Shield potions don't need a nerf but we'd like to keep them rare- and for the record, I'd support a doubling in their price in wand-form!

_trendymonster_ It's been changed for EfU idiot.

y u say dat? :'(

But it will still add ac regardless of any clerical buffs available. Shield spell counts as having a + shield so long as your shield isn't magical it'll stack with that ac from my experience using em.

Guys, I'm no' a DM, but keep a civil tongue. I could see this degenerating quickly into something no one wants it to be.

Please be nice to each other.

The "Shield" spell does indeed give +4 AC deflection, which does not stack with the AC bonus from either Protection from Alignment or Divine Shielding (or AC from rings and cloaks). By default it gives immunity to Magic Missile, in EfU we have scripted it to provide immunity to missile storms.

The decision to not allow it to be crafted into a potion was made in the context of how the server was three years ago, it's possible that could be re-evaluated, but I don't think the comments made in this thread will have much impact on that decision.
