Inventions[edit]
- Over Shield — Shield skills gain reduced recharge and grant protection to nearby allies. Protection on you gains increased damage reduction.
Notes[edit]
- Applies the Absorb effect.
- There are certain projectiles that are tricky to reflect with this skill. Since this skill has a 0 radius reflect, the Engineer can only reflect projectiles that hit them directly. For this reason, projectiles that explode on contact with another player, such as Giganticus Lupicus's Necrid Bolt, are easy to reflect if they target the Engineer themselves, but almost impossible if it targets one of their allies. Similarly, Lupicus's Necrid Barrage's projectiles are almost impossible to reflect with this skill, they can only be reflected when they land directly on the Engineer. Otherwise, the projectile explodes and does damage in an area.
