The Shop Rework update radically altered how Barriers work (for the better), but I can't lie-- I do somewhat miss the old style of Shields, their functionality, and the types of shenanigans you could get up to with them.
Inspired by those memories, I wanted propose a pair of items that attempts to blend the old with the new.
While the Barriers these items give are incredibly small and brief, they'll be re-deployed frequently. The reload speed penalty is meant to help increase the duration of the Barrier, as the listed duration only begins after the reload period ends. Retaliative Ward's active is meant to echo the pre-Rework functionality of Veil Walker, "refreshing" all of the user's Barriers while also granting additional utilities.
