Nah, I don't think that is a problem. It's only 3 seconds of invincibility every 15 seconds, and even then you can still damage them with degen. You can still interrupt them and inflict conditions.

Giving up your elite to make sure only you can't get spiked probably isn't a good idea. It was okay with "Incoming!" because it affected the entire team. 66.75.136.251 22:12, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
I use it with water magic a lot since none of the elites in that line are truly outstanding (well, except maybe water trident). It's very flexible, since it can either protect you or give energy. I don't really think it's overpowered... but it's probably close. A minor buff might push it over the edge. --Jette 22:20, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
Personally, I think this skill is better in practice than it seemed in theory. It looks overpowered, but it is actually pretty well balanced. It can compete with the other elites people can choose, but it doesn't allow any overpowered combinations (which most people were afraid of). Unless some brilliant gimmick/farm build arises that abuses this skill in ways that are unacceptable, I'd say leave it alone. 145.94.74.23 09:49, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I do worry about flat immunity which can't be interrupted or removed, though. As it is, this seems fairly balanced, though it is true that even for non-eles it's a free near-invincibility 20% of the time. I did wonder about that myself but unless you cap it you have to give up your elite, which isn't really worth it. Personally, though, I would prefer this being changed to something more like a high armour bonus or damage reduction (maybe even a high % damage reduction) so it still gives great defence but can be got around. 82.12.248.89 21:21, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Way too good

This is really a joke compared to OoS / OoB. It's not being used at all on ele's using ele skills, only on E/Rt prism healers and flaggers that are too strong. Bring down the energy gain and change the effect to something besides damage immunity please. Oxycanta 21:58, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
