Dear Devs: Please change the meta

I’ve heard people assert this in the past, but I haven’t been able to find a post from a dev on Mana Shield and Drain. Do you have a link?

EDIT: Was even in that same thread. Remember that this is not at all a promise. They were “looking into” it.

Finally, as I said earlier we’ve been looking at better means of offering counter play to Famine + Mana drain in general. With that we’re looking to change the Mana Shield trait to also gain immunity to Mana drain. Now this seems like an obvious solution so why didn’t we do this earlier? The main reason is it isn’t possible, due to some technical issues with the way our Adobe Air client is coded… I mean, it IS possible (it’s always possible to change code), but it’s a high risk change that would certainly introduce some bugs. With the PC/ Mobile version switching over to Unity, we are now able to investigate adding this extra immunity (this is not 100% guaranteed to happen though).
