...Seriously dude what are you talking about? Shields that you set in place?

So you're saying you can just create a shield, set it and leave it their, and without any concentration it'll still sit their in tact? And you're saying that this shield that you just left sitting there gets stronger after being freightened?

What's surprising to me is that you seem to keep going from shielding to defensive response after being freightened, while entirely skipping the paralyzing vaulnerable moment of actually being scared. You know, when your mind blanks and you are there for a brief moment in complete shock of whatever it is that is scaring you? Or have you never experience that before.

The shield doesn't get stronger after being afraid, it breaks and the caster has to create another one which takes time and concentration; things the shield caster should not have while he is in a hostile situation. Oh but wait, since apparently i'm the only one of us getting his information from theory, you're experience of dealing with shields will probably just say you can whip up a shield during that time frame, and my theory will be useless. Since of course, you get your information from experience.

Even though with my example the entire shield will be out of the way with the bonus of induced fear and weakened rationality compared to looking for a weak spot hoping your attack or whatever you are trying to do with it does something seems like the better option, I guess to you it's just a silly idea. Since you have experience and all knowing that my way won't work, I guess i just can't compete with your word and my way is just ridiculous.
