shield of faith bug

[Javik]

the mana cost to reduce damage is subtracted before blocking takes effect (and i suspect also resistances), for example getting hit by arrows or standing in front of a fire trap, both dealing 0 damage without shield of faith still drain 50% mana within a second which is very annoying. this means its more of a detriment than an advantage in many cases unless youre playing a 2h build, and does nothing but half your mana for no benefit.

A bit late, but here to second this. I noticed that even weak enemy projectiles were costing me mana when I was blocking them and thought, "Hm, that's probably not intended."

It's def one of the worst skill passives to take hands down.
