I think the "ignore shield" effect should stick to gravity...
Agreed, more or less. A critical hit implies hitting a weakpoint, this is true. But some shields have no weakpoints. Hope implies your entire body becomes covered in protective light. Dimensional shield has you phase into another dimension. No amount of fancy flying should counter that. I do like this shard a lot more than some others, it falls in with the more "balanced" shards in my opinion. Perhaps we can up the percent, or the percent damage increase, and drop th shield ignoring?
