Makes it so some damage you take reduces mana instead of health.

It's an Ice buff that absorbs half the damage you take on your hp and gives it to your mp, for example, a monster does 50 dmg. on me, that mana shield will absorb some of that and place it mp. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

Mana shield in KSRO takes a certain % from the damage dealt and takes it from MP instead of HP. That % is determined by the level of your mana shield.

It will help everyone make their battles last longer, but obviously benefits pure int the most.

pure int wont die that fast...but they'll be losing the high mag.attk tree of fire or mag.attk buffing tree of light for ice...so in the end it'll just make them last a little longer against str that they can't kill w/o fire imbue

Yeah, try playing on ksro and saying that.

Pure ints are the best on ksro, and they'll likely be the best now with the HUGE update.

Does anyone know what the damage reduce amounts

All I see is a lot of speculation. Without knowing that no one knows the effect of the mana shield.

First book 20% (lvl20) to 25%(lvl35)
Second book 30%(lvl40) to 35%(lvl55)
Third Book 40%(lvl60) to 45%(lvl75)

The fourth book starts at lvl80 with 50% but I dont know if passives and lvl 80 skills will be availables on that update.

I watch ksro pvps everyday & haven't seen one pure int with 90 ice. The max I've seen is 70 & it was one. A pure int can tank glavier with 44% mana shield with ok garments, otherwise I would go with 60 or 70 ice. I wouldn't go 90 ice unless you want the new ice nuke. The mana shield goes lvl 20, 40, 60 & 80 ice.

1:30, pure int with good garment tanking a glavier without ice buff.
