Shield of Deflection

Issue

No reason to run this over RC, unless you have Foul Feast->Plague Sig. Most teams just run an RC over that.

Suggestion

"Enchantment Spell. For 2...6...7 seconds, target ally has a 50% chance to block attacks. When this enchantment ends, that ally is healed for 40...78...88 health." 5, 1/2, 4

Basically its an elite guardian, with a heal at the end. Half cast makes it much more difficult to interrupt.

Skill Balancer's Proposal

Issue

last change to Shield of Deflection's recharge has made it crappy; reduce the recharge and tweak the energy cost, duration, and cast time

Suggestion

Shield of Deflection - 5 ¾ 7 Elite Enchantment Spell. For 2...7...8 seconds, target ally has a 75% chance to block attacks and gains 15...27...30 armor.
