How exactly does Displacement Shield works?

[MaxBedlam]

So I can learn "Displacement Shield" on my Arcane Blade and I've been wondering how exactly does it works and is it worth getting.

This is the description of the skill (taken from the wiki):
"This intricate spell erects a space distortion around the caster that is linked to another distortion, placed around a target. Any time the caster should take damage, there is a (40 + talent_level * 5)% chance that it will instead be warped by the shield and hit the designated target. Once the maximum damage (70-450) is absorbed, the time runs out ((10 + talent_level * 3) turns), or the target dies, the shield will crumble.
The max damage the shield can absorb will increase with your Spellpower."

So basically if I understand that right, you cast this spell on the enemy, and then every time he attacks you there's a chance that the shield will make his attack actually damage him instead of you?

Also the "Once the maximum damage is absorbed" thingy, does that mean that if it fails to throw the attack back at the enemy then the shield will apsorb the damage instead or does it asporb the damage and then fires it back to the enemy?

Would really like to know how exactly this skill works.

If anyone or anything deal damage to caster (you) that damage has a chance to go to the target instead (the one you choose when you're setting the shield).

Cool, can you explain the rest that I asked about?

The shield has a lifetime - eg. it could absorb/warp 300 damage, last 10 turns or the target dies. As soon as any of these conditions applies, it will collapse. Note that the damage condition is only triggered, if the damage is warped to the target, so if you get 2 attacks of 100 dmg and only one is warped, the shield will only count 100 damage.

Okay thanks.
