Just got this yesterday and...it overwrites :O
Not sure why no one's mentioned anything yet; maybe it was fixed in the latest patch? Maybe it's so obvious that no one bothered to write about it and I'm a complete idiot? Maybe no one noticed? Not sure if it's because of demon or not, but I thought this was worth sharing.

    Huh? Slight clarifications needed? b:shutup

    Earlier the buff kept wearing off while I was helping a random TT squad. I still don't think it's functioning properly.

    This definitely has to be tested. If it is fixed then it might mean we are getting more bug fixes in the future.

    By overwrites I mean if you cast another Magic Shell, the buff will refresh...it's hard to explain in words.

    Haven't tested with the squad buffs, btw.

    So anyone else can confirm that it overwrites like other buffs?

    I've gotten demon vanguard and thought that demon magic shell would be a waste of money so I didnt get it b:surrender
    Thanks Chillum for the nice Sig.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

    The sage version of Magic Shell (which I have) lasts a full hour but doesn't overwrite. My question therefore is: could demon Magic Shell possibly be the same deal? Over how long a period of time did you test it? Like, if you cast it the first time, then recast it 15 minutes later, and observe at the half hour mark that the buff is still active, then one could wrongly conclude that the second cast overwrote the first, if you assumed a half hour duration. You'd have to wait for an hour after you first cast it to see whether or not it overwrote.

    In any case I'd be interested to hear more details about how you tested it, and what the outcome is based on an assumed 1 hour duration (though I can't really see why the demon version would exclusively have the ability to overwrite, but who knows lol).

    Edit: just wanted to add to the discussion - is it common knowledge that single target lv11 buffs last an hour? I only have Vanguard and Magic Shell, but they both definitely last an hour, even though the text description still says 30 minutes. Just it's not something I've ever seen any discussion on, so I'm curious to know what people's thoughts are on this subject.
