About this mod
A rework of Quen's shield for Basic shield, Active Shield and Discharge mechanics, introducing a more dynamic scaling with Player's HP and Sign Intensity, and a more meaningful interaction with Place of Power buffs.
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
For NEXT-GEN ONLY, New game plus compatible.
Shield Health
- Both Basic shield and active shield health are based on player's max hp and scales with player's sign intensity.
- Buffs or potions that increases max hp and sign intensity (Full Moon, Petri's Philter, Quen Place of Power, etc.) will increase shield health.
Basic Shield
- Absorbs only 70% of incoming damage, scales with sign intensity.
- Shield duration scales with sign intensity.
- When having quen place of power buff, basic shield absorbs 100% of incoming damage.
Note: You may notice your shield charge takes a bit more damage (depletes a bit faster) when having place of power buff as your shield is now absorbing 100% of incoming damage. so, it's a tradeoff between full protection and shield longevity.
- No longer heals the player by default.
- Absorbs 100% of incoming damage.
- Drains 40% less stamina at level 2, 80% at level 3.
- When having quen place of power buff, active shield absorbs 10% less of incoming damage and heals the player proportionately, scales with sign intensity.
Note: When having place of power buff, your active shield will noticeably take more longer to break as it's taking less of incoming damage and heals the player with it instead.
Quen Discharge
- Discharge percentages are still on vanilla values (10% at level 1 up to 30% at level 3).
- Discharge damage decreases shield health damage on both basic shield and active shield as it reflects the damage to the attacker instead of absorbing it.
Note: With Bear School 6pc set, discharge damage can be scaled up to 90%, however shield damage reduction through discharge damage is capped at 50% for balancing reasons.
Example with bear school 6pc set with active place of power buff:
All other shield interactions remain untouchedExample with bear school 6pc set with active place of power buff:
