Something's messed up with shield cooldowns.

I notice that sometimes it takes 6 seconds cooldown, while at other times it takes 13 seconds.

Also, it is not affected by the amount of arcane mastery stacks at all. What gives?

    It's currently broken. Not sure when it happened, probably during the class balance patch. I've found a current workaround for it if and posted it here http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?358261-Shield-bug-workaround

    Yeah. I'm gonna let this game for a few months and then try it again. It's so **** bugged I cannot enjoy it. The most annoying is when you get stucked in the loading screen...or when the game just crashes.

    LFG and Queue sucks, they need to work on that. Actually your only option is watching the spam in Enclave /zone and find a group to queue with. If LFG worked well, and at least had its own global channel, you would be able to find groups and not experience the "passion" it is to solo queue. As a cw once you get past 9k gs you are generally able to find a group for delve in no more than 10 minutes of waiting in enclave.

    About shield: the workaround just underlines the bug, but isn't reliable in real fights. Ideally you want to pop shield before the singularity ends so they recollect and you get enough AP to recast AS fast. With the bug it's probably better to pop shield later on first cast so that you buy a few seconds, and in case you can't have the cd reset properly you dont find yourself HAMSTER by a mass of *insert your current oblivious creature's name in dungeons*

    There is plenty of time after casting AS to move up to it and use the work around for Shield Pulse AP gain and it is quite reliable. Instead of having shield at the ready, it just requires you to cast Shield Pulse right after Shield for the proper CD. It sucks not having Shield work correctly. They need to fix that.

    The problem I was referring to is not being able to have the shield up, basically the workaround forces you to cast it AFTER singularity starts which isnt a problem vs easy pulls, but is rather risky on hardest encounters, which is where it matters.
