A weaker Priest shield spent Mana without refreshing the stronger one
In a report with video, a weaker spent Mana and applied again without replacing the stronger shield on the target.
Status: A community tracker maintainer gave October 15 for the complete fix. No result has been retested in build 1.60.1.70245.
Description
This is an archive backfill for October 5-6. A player showed that after applying a stronger , a Priest could wait for to end and cast a weaker version before the first shield expired. The cast spent Mana and reapplied , but did not refresh the target's absorb. The reporter attached a Forever video. On October 6, a community tracker maintainer agreed the behavior should be fixed, then gave October 15 as the full fix date. The scenario has not been retested in build 1.60.1.70245.
Effect
When healing a group, check whether a stronger shield remains on the target. In the earlier report, casting a weaker version spent Mana and delayed the next shield without adding absorption.
How to reproduce it
- Use a Priest with two learned versions. The Forever database lists level 6 for spell ID 17 and level 12 for ID 592, so this comparison needs at least level 12.
- Apply the stronger version to yourself or a party member. Wait for the base 15-second to end while the first shield remains, up to its 30-second duration.
- Cast the weaker version on the same target. In the October 5 report, Mana was spent and appeared again, but the stronger shield was neither replaced nor refreshed.
- If testing in 70245, record both spell versions, remaining absorb, Mana cost and client build. Until the fix is confirmed live, do not rely on a weaker reapplication.
Further conditions
- Archive backfill: reproducible October 5 report. The attached video does not establish behavior in the later 70245 build.
What players report
- Spacecaramel-dev, GitHub
Described casting a weaker shield after Weakened Soul ended and attached a Forever behavior video.

Reopened the issue on October 6 because spending Mana without even refreshing the shield should be fixed.
