Spirit Shield during Parry

[A Bear]

An item that allows you to gain a decent amount of spirit shield for the duration of your parry.

This would not parry or stun abilities, but would allow you to mitigate damage taken by them.

Likely most useful against telegraphed burst abilities like Grey Talon's arrow or Yamato's slash, but would be useful for most other abilities too.

you really have dodge and stamina items for that. Hitting you in middle of dodge movement without aim assist is really insane and lucky. This item will allow you casually tank harass from enemies without effort on lane.

I mean, I could see it as a 1250 that gave say, 150 spirit shield on parry with a 10 second cooldown or something and some defensive stats. It wouldn't be much, but it would be interesting. The only problem I have with it is I'm not sure how different it is to just having divine barrier?

Now that you mention it... I'd love to be able to trigger Parry by holding Shift/Dodge without a direction...

I really like that idea personally. It adds more use of parry while also keeping it a skillcheck. You're basically just adding onto the parry to also work with mitigating for example spirit or weapon damage.

That's cool to me, an item that rewards skillful play and an active playstyle.
IMO the best, or at least the most interesting, item suggestion posted here lately.

A parry item is a great idea. Maybe there could be an upgrade where successfully parrying a player applies antiheal. Because fuck Abrams in particular
