wat is everyone opinion about this skill? is it useful? or should i stick to fire?

There are so many posts asking about what they should do. Come on, think a bit and decide what is best for you. If you are not used to making a decision, it's a good time to start.

i do have this skil atm. andi use it on mob but i doesn't seem to see its greatfulness.

ask a lvl 80 nuker who already planned their build for mana shield and youll get an answer.


Mana shield owns and will make nukers even much powerful in pvp. They are able to tank and not sacrifice a lot of dmg. Actually lightning does more dmg at high lvls than fire does. So ye, its way worth it getting mana shield for nukers and just completely take fire out of your way.

But that wil only leave you with 1 nuke? The ice one does no dmg only hits 3 units with um those bad buffs freeze and frostbite

That's good. If you are not liking it, dont get it. If you are the pvp type of player, do more PVP with it to test it. But against mobs, with or without mana shield on will give you a good enough indication.

actualy when i cape fight ...it lets u survive from dying in one hit ...
i'm only lvl 42 with a 9 gap atm ..and have about 1.5k hp ..
was fighitng a spear pure nuker. ..who could hit bout 1.6k wit his spear ..seemed around lvl 45 lookin at the armor he had ..wit mana shield it'd let me survive his nuke and pot back to normal

Hi, Im new here.

Im a int hybrid (very int) and the combination of mana shield and castle shield make you a lot more tuffer in job or pvp. Getting 30% of the damage in your mp bar is a lot when like having 30% more HP. And with 5000 HP its like having 6500. you just got to adjust your auto-potion accordingly, so your mp bar dont go empty.

I just love that skill

I am an int heavy hybrid sword/shield user. I also found that leveling my ice up to get the second book of mana shield at mastery lvl 30, helps fighting mobs alot higher then me. Costing about about 7k skill points including passive, I think its worth it. I did not max the ice tree, it is gonna stay at its current mastery.

As for the post directly above me I agree with you, paired with castle shield, and mana sheild, ints now have the skills to survive. Fair warning you only get castle shield for 15 seconds so be carefull still.

P.s I was in a four person auto-share yesterday. A 57 hybrid bow (glavie), a 64 blader, 65 glavier, and unless a peg crited I could tank like the strs with the combo of mana and castle shield. I also noticed that the str's had +3 64 weapons but me at 53 with a sos+5 sword/shield set I was out damaging them by 2k, and in zerk I do around 10k dmg to a PEG whom are lvl 64!!! I was in the secret peg room of course.

Cough Cough
Its a good thing that the bladder had ress.


But seriously I would like to see another lvl 53 int player successfully grinding on 64+ mobs. The combination of being hybrid and mana shield made it possible.

I went from being able to tank 2.5 power earth ghosts to 5.5 once I used mana shield. Even though it only transfers 35% at my level it took the bite out of the crits.

And yeah she was out damaging all of us.

Glavie start pumping those points into str and go str hyb , there is still time to save yourself Oh Btw about to update the Str HYb guide if you have any last views ..

Witch leave you without protection for 45 sec before you can launch mana shield again
