Soon, likely after next reset, the Heroic Shield duration will be 12 IG hours. The cooldown remains 1 IG hour after the initial use.yellowcateyes wrote:Heroic Shield is meant to be a low maintenance ability. It's currently easy to re-apply, as noted, but it's a fair point that the duration is a little low, currently. I'll see about extending it in a future update.
Practically speaking, this means that you only need to worry about using it at the start of a dungeon run, but a new Ward can still be designated every six minutes. Using Heroic Shield on a new target before its duration has expired removes its effect on the old target.
