1130: Focus Shield Effect Drops Without Dropping

Description

Enchanter focus shield will stay active and continue to drain power but no longer damage enemies that strike the pet. Moving or casting a spell after this is noticed will end the effect and show that the focus shield has dropped eventhough it stopped working prior to that action. Recasting the focus shield will enable it once again.

Reproduction Steps

1. Cast focus shield on pet
2. Pull multiple enemies
3. Let the enemies die to the focus shield and watch combat log for when the effect ends despite the focus shield being active

Intended Behavior

Focus shield should stay active unless the caster moves, is hit with anything that would normally interrupt a spell cast, if they cast another spell, or if the enemy they have targeted dies. Upon the shield dropping, there should be a notification that the buff has faded as well and power drain from the effect should cease.

Evidence

I have played an enchanter for a very long time and I am very familiar with how the effect works. I have confirmed this issue many times while leveling and have conferred with other enchants who have reported similar behavior.
