Notes
- Activation base is in Mana and values vary with fatigue%.
- Arcane Warrior Spellcasting: The spell can be cast with your weapon(s) drawn.
- The duration of Force Field is increased by smaller party size and decreased by the target's rank-based effect duration modifier (if applicable). Although this spell is cheap and has good duration, it has a downside: party members will still select affected enemies as combat targets and will need to be carefully managed.
- Though moderately useful as a shutdown skill, the true value of Force Field lies in deploying the spell as a defensive mechanism--particular in synergy with skills that already lock down the user (such as Captivating Song). Additionally, casting force field on a party member that can generate a lot of base threat (eg. on a Threaten stance tank after mob aggro with Taunt) creates a perfect tank that takes no damage. This is especially useful on Shale in Stone Aura form.
