Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 I finally read through the manual pages, and noticed that Protection only blocks 20% of damage, but Shielding (which has the same little icon) blocks 50%. So maybe I should be using more of those Shielding pods and spores and rods! I thought they were just giving me Protection. Mass Energize is said to 'shield' everyone. And since Battle Roar is said to 'protect' and 'shield' them, it seems that the manual page is being precise in its terminology, so I presume that Mass Energize gives the 50% protection. That does make it even better than I thought it was. Plus you ought to be able to cast Protection on top of it, for even more. There is an icon for 'resistant', which is said to describe a character who has been made resistant to lots of things. How can you actually get that in the game, though? I've never seen it happen.

Kyshakk Koan Hume Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Mass Energize doesn't shield or protect. It hastes, blesses and HEALS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 The in-game instructions say that it blesses, speeds, and shields. Do you find otherwise in practice? It has been too long since I played a Shaper for me to remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Aoslare Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Are these the same sets of instructions that claim Essence Shield heals you? I wouldn't take those too seriously. I imagine they were composed before the design of G1 and G2 was finalized, and haven't been touched since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Hume Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 The in-game instruction tells paradoxical things. The manual says shielding. But when you select blessing magic, and move you cursor on mass energize, it says heals. The latter tells the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenderfoot Thahd Silvergryphon Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 It blesses, heals and speeds. I didnt find any significant reduction in damage. When I push my team up before a fight, I always use mass energize and protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
