Quen Reworked NEXT-GEN

For NEXT-GEN ONLY, New game plus compatible.

Shield Health

• []Both Basic shield and active shield health are based on player's max hp and scales with player's sign intensity.

  []Buffs or potions that increases max hp and sign intensity (Full Moon, Petri's Philter, Quen Place of Power, etc.) will increase shield health.

Basic Shield

• []Absorbs only 70% of incoming damage, scales with sign intensity.

  [](Optional File) Absorbs only 50% of incoming damage, scales with sign intensity.

  []Shield duration scales with sign intensity.

  []When having quen place of power buff, basic shield absorbs 100% of incoming damage.

Active Shield

• []No longer heals the player by default.

  []Absorbs 100% of incoming damage.

  []Drains 40% less stamina at level 2, 80% at level 3.

  []Generates a small amount of adrenaline when hit, scales at skill level.

  []When having quen place of power buff, active shield absorbs 10% less of incoming damage and heals the player proportionately, scales with sign intensity.

• []Discharge percentages are still on vanilla values (10% at level 1 up to 30% at level 3).

  []Discharge damage decreases shield health damage on both basic shield and active shield as it reflects the damage to the attacker instead of absorbing it.

  Note: With Bear School 6pc set, discharge damage can be scaled up to 90%, however shield damage reduction through discharge damage is capped at 50% for balancing reasons.

  Example with bear school 6pc set with active place of power buff:

  Basic Shield health = 2000

  Incoming Damage = 1000

  Player health damage = 0 (Place of power buff 100% health damage reduction)

  Discharge Damage at 90% (level 3 quen discharge with bear school 6pc set effect) = 900

  Shield Damage Reduction (Capped at 50%) = 450

  Shield Damage = 550

  Basic Shield health after hit = 1450

  Exploding Shield

  []Shield no longer explodes when it doesn't take any damage.

  [*]Damage is based on total accumulated shiel
