Damage Shields in Combat
As melee damage/dd/dot etc rises significantly in combat, why don't dmg shields as well, they are gems too and quite lonely and misunderstood

Cause it's supposed to be the damage itself that rises, not the damage protection.

that seems silly in a pvp scenario, in a defensive build defense gems don't rise but attack gems do?

This is to speed up long battles. A battle could go on for hours if damage didn't rise. Don't ask for defense to rise as well.

defensive gems, not defense itself. if attack gems rise defense gems should as well. defense itself is different.

that's like saying fights are too long so remove shields off tanks after so long. its part of tactics.

Heals don't boost either (just overcleanse. Dot FTL). Glitch has increased damage bonus several times because fights took forever. I highly doubt he'll do something counterproductive to shorter fights like increase survivability gems such as heals or shields.
Tho it'd be nice :{ those melee quads are brutal late bonus so being able to heal more than 3k or....iirc top shield is like 1.5k with bonuses (might be non fading for that...been like half a year & my memory is crap)

there needs to be more balance between offensive builds and defensive builds imo.

A review its needed, that is for sure, review on gems, on procs and just like you said in Defense Vs Offense.
I found the fact of adding a damage bonus after certain time something bad to do...i always thought it was a temporary thing since he didnt want to nerf defense at all neither to buff damage like crazy because is not needed in PvE.
I dont understand why some defensive procs in particular increase in arena and others not.
I think we can start to discuss this again..

agreed. that or make more powerful dmg shields or defensive auras. regen already got nerfed with legendary items, so that defense just became moot....
instead of using something to nerf something else, maybe we can think of something better.
