Description

This divine power creates shields to protect up to two party members in range. It is most effective against Apostle skills, and can often save lives.

Details

Shield of Trust being used.

Shield of Trust defending a player and a pet.

• Summons a magic barrier around the user and up to two party members, increasing Defense, reduces the damage of Apostle's Mineral Hail, and provides knockdown immunity.
  • Effects persist even if party members leave the barrier's range.
  • Effects only apply on activation; running into the barrier's range after its casting does nothing.
  • If the skill does not affect 2 players, it will affect any nearby Pets afterward.
  • Only the defense bonus lasts the full duration; the knockdown immunity is approximately 7 seconds, indicated by a helmet status effect.
• Can be used on a Hot Air Balloon but has no effects.
• Successfully fending off Mineral Hail will immobilize Girgashiy temporarily, and is also required for Celestial Spike to force it down for an even longer duration.
  • Depending on the amount of players, more players needs to be under the protection of Shield of Trust in order to immobilize Girgashiy.
    • Harder difficulty may require more players.
• The following subskills passively enhance Shield of Trust:
  • Giving Heart: Increases Shield of Trust's range.
  • Healing Hands: Using Shield of Trust will restore the user's and nearby party member's Health.
    • The Health recovery of Healing Hands is applied before the Wound recovery of Recovering Touch, so the net healing is limited to the target's current injury level.
  • Magic Dampening: Increases Shield of Trust's Magic Defense and Magic Protection.
  • Guarded Footsteps: Using Shield of Trust will increase the user's and nearby party member's Movement Speed.
  • Recovering Touch: Using Shield of Trust will restore the user's and nearby party member's Wounds.
  • For allocating Crusader levels towards Shield of Trust's subskills, the following bonuses can be applied:
    • Every 5 levels allocated into Warding increases Shield of Trust's skill range by 5cm.
    • Every 7 levels allocated into Warding increases Shield of Trust's buff duration by 0.3 seconds.
    • Every 10 levels allocated into Warding increases Shield of Trust's bonus Defense by 1.
• Shares its cooldown with Celestial Spike and Judgment Blade.
• Can be used to protect the Alban Knights NPC as well.
• Rank 1 Shield of Trust is required to use the Dampen Shock Technique.
  • Rank 1 Shield of Trust can be reached by only using the skill.

Skill Issues

• High Latency may lead the Mana usage portion of the Skill to use up more than intended while loading Shield of Trust up. Ultimately leading to a large loss in MP without a refund when resynced with the server.
