PvP bug makes mages more overpowered

Mage lvl 40 pvp cyanide shield talent is affecting other players critical hit rate.
Average damage on mage without shield = 4000 crit
Average damage on mage with cyanide shield = 200 + NEVER crits

Issue #1 - Attacking players crit rate gets broken when attacking a mage in shield.
Issuer #2 - The shield makes mages with 8k hp immortal as they heal more from killing players than they take damage inside that shield.

 

On the plus side, a SW that doesn't die has a hard time exploding.

 

u can only have shield or explode,but not both.
fame tree says,the shield absorbs almost all damage u suffer for 4.0 seconds.
so it must be like shooting a steam engine in 6v6,no crit.just reg damage

 

Like the guy above says, you can either select cyanite shield talent or the nova death explosion talent, but not both, as they are the alternatives at level 40 pvp. If you see a SW with the shield in pvp, you know that they won't explode.

 

The cyanite shield boosts up your defensive stats to 8k/80% reduction regardless of what stats they were previously at, so I am going to go ahead and assume that you hitting 200 on someone was an exaggeration. Anyway, not sure about the crit bug as I haven't paid close attention to my hits on someone with the shield on, but if you really think those 3 seconds of higher protection make mages OP, then you might want to start taking advantage of the many scape skills other classes have to get away from them until the shield is gone.

 

The shield is far better in pve. Another thing your missing is the mage is 2/3rd hp gone. If you are going after them and see a funny ring pop gem then chances are your pretty good run away for 2 seconds and start back.
