Please explain this sacred shield nerf

This is a huge nerf to the survivability of ret and our ability to play as defensive hybrids, since we have none of the tools that other melee classes rely on.

Please tell me you have something in store for us to make up for this. Our arena representation is already pathetic, and this is a HUGE nerf to an ability that enabled us to at least play how we are "designed", as defensive hybrids.


Edit - change description:
