G15s4 Changes

Well, comparing the old mana shield formula to the current one, The current one is really crap (putting it lightly). Assuming that the equation given is correct: Old MS formula at 300 int and r6 would have an efficiency of 2.65, or a 2.65:1 damage to mana ratio, which makes sense seeing as how my character only took 50~150 damage while in trans and with MS on against the g8 boss. Current MS formula with the same int and rank would have an efficieny of...0.252 (.25 to make it easier), or a 1:4 damage to mana ratio. Even at capped int (ignoring enchants that give magic attack) would only give it an efficieny of 0.762.

TL;DR if you want mana shield to behave like how it used to, get 175 magic attack >>;
