Fire Shield: what's it work on?

[Ding Ho]

What effects does it work against, and how does it work? Shorter durations? Less chance of suffering them?

[nightdrifter]

it works against any status ailment, and it reduces the effect by a given amount. which is noted somewhere when you highlight it

[Ziggy]

im guessing that if you have been poisoned and you dont have a pill then you put on the spell and the sickness leaves your body at a faster rate, thus losing less hp.

Just a guess tho. I wouldnt dare learn the silly thing

So in PVP against the eight million ice/bow users, you're just going to let them freeze you and then lose?

thats what universal pills are for xP

Can you even use them while frozen solid? Don't you just get re-frozen again half a second later by the next attack in the flurry?

Mind you, my chances of actually participating in trader/thief/hunter PvP are waning rapidly as I get into the teen levels and the amount of grinding required to reach twenty becomes apparent. Still, I don't want to waste two weeks experimenting to discover something ten minutes of research can find.

Whether you use pills or this skill, you'd still get frozen a second later from the next ice attack. The differences is, pills remove the effect immediately, so you're not just standing there waiting for your doom.
