    Should protect absorb 100% of incoming damage but cost more warpcharge per second?

    Edit: I should have clarified I meant Ranged damage coming from outside the bubble. melee and ranged from within would still count.

  2. I'm going to go with No and my reasoning behind it is there is already too much I frame bloat in the game. We dont need more just ignoring dmg.

  3. Basically what i suggested from the verry beginning after seeing how useless protect is.
    Make it happen and make my day.

    Overwatch does have Barriers, and they work too

    It does not go well with the style of Eldar and as Ash stated there's already too many iframes in the game , but yeah we should rework the spell , maybe alow the warlock to run while casting?

    I would rather it work like Reins shield from overwatch personally and then make it drain no warp charge while active but not taking damage but drain fast when damage passes through it, but I can't have nice things

    I think it would be cool if protect just drops a bubble that will persist in the world for about 12 to 15 seconds.

    I would be fine with just having protect not block everyone's vision and having Reapers yelling at Warlocks to turn it off.

    As @Krayt said, It would go a long way if they would allow it to be used while running.

    As Eldar, you can't afford to be moving slow considering how squish we are, and half your team needs to get up close and personal so they need to be there quick. Protect warlocks just can't stay up with their squad or others as they all outpace your bubble by the time they are getting shot, or melee doing melee, which makes it useless.

    I've complained about Protect being to slow to use, and most strats involve it in breaches or point cap/decap.

    Nah would be way too OP if a group of warlocks learned to coordinate and spammed it at cap points and defence lines etc..

    If they increased the area it protected so you didn't all have to clump and be a big aoe spam target and it drained charge slower it'd be a whole lot more useful.

    Currently asking a bunch of frail eldar to all clump up is a bad idea and having your WC drained in a few seconds means you can't do anything during (since it's hold to use) or after since your depleted.

    Could also be good if it's like Cat said and deploys the bubble
