Shield Staff

The Shield Staff is a support staff capable of bolstering sheilds faster than most enemies can tear them down.

Abilities

 * The self-cast shield can be used in some rare situations that a normal shield can't (such as after being knocked into the air), but it is generally just as easy to use the normal self-cast.
 * The inceased shield boost allows the player to very quickly cast and fully boost a bubble shield to protect injured players or provide a place for players to retreat using various teleportation methods.
 * Best use: Multiplayer Support/Defense

Pros

 * Makes strong shields
 * Good support staff

Cons

 * No directly offensive or defensive abilities
 * Cannot directly attack or heal when creating and boosting shields
 * Usefulness significantly reduced by patch 1.4.0.1, which changed self shield mechanics and introduced rock and ice armors, which are much better.
