Magical Equivalent for Shield of Regrowth and Ancile.

[GrimDude55]

Been pondering this for a soft while now, but why not have two Magic tree items that mirror Shield of Regrowth and Ancile (give Magical Damage, Moderate Physical/Magical Protections, and 10% cooldown respectively). The only problem to this thought is having reasonable passives that would make much sense, Shield of Regrowth is easy for Mage/Guardians that can heal, but a Magic Ancile with a flipped passive would kinda be lazy and hard to make a justifiable scenario for.

So what if instead, these two items had Aura effects?

"Magic Shield of Regrowth" Aura: Movement and/or Attack Speed, or have the Aura trigger when allies within it are healed by others or themselves.

"Magic Ancile" Aura: Soft CC cleanse (Support Winged Blade), or Aura shield pulse when you or an ally is below a certain threshold (Support Bulwark).

I'm not sure if this is balanced or if there is a way to balance this, it's mainly something I think could spice up builds some. The only problem I see here is the Magic Ancile ideas, could end up with Mages/Guardians trying to stack it with Bulwark, which wouldn't do much so long as the effects don't stack.

To anyone interested, share ya thoughts, any feedback is welcomed.

The first idea seems rather messy to implement/balance but the second idea seems simple. I like the ideas.

Yeah these were one of my late night ideas that I had to put out while it was still fresh.

The first idea was for a scenario like giving Sylvanus something to engage/disengage a fight faster with a short speed boost when using Wisps.

The second idea is a little bit of a mess looking on it now, both the Bulwark and Winged Blade pitches would have too many factors to be practical, coming down to who gets hit and who it would proc on. I honestly can't wrap my head around what a proper Aura be included with it.

1a) I'd be fine with this.
1b) So basicly another Lotus Crown?

2a/b) no idea on either of these

Thought Lotus only gave bonus protections.

And sweet mercy my second idea is such a mess!

Lotus, upon a heal, acts like a mini shield. it might give out protections as well, heck if i know, i don't play support mages enough to notice

Maybe it'd be easier or an idea if Rod of Asclepius had 10% CDR instead of Movement Speed, not sure of any value the movement speed would have in most situations for healers.

Ironicly there is one god who does actually benefit from this and that is Ra. It helps with his passive, especially since many support mages build near max/max cdr.

Oh right, completely forgot 'bout that. Well I'm stumped then on anymore ideas.

I say make Regrowth a health item (provided health items stop sucking).
