Transitus Shield

I was questing in Coldara, and happened across the Transitus shield. And thought, this would be a pretty awesome Mage ability, perhaps as a temporary stealth or even a group stealth. Mages already have invisibility and they use it in the game.

This probably won't happen, but it would be awesome! I mean, who wouldn't want to stealth the entire raid during AV?

But are you really stealthing the party. The enemy are going to see that shield and know that SOMETHING is under there. Also, it's a static shield. I'm sure if those mages in Coldara were to move, the shield would not remain. And did you see how many mages are necessary to keep the shield up?

Yeah, would be an interesting mechanic, but I can't see it making it into the game.

I can't either, but I was assuming a mini-shield that was small enough for one mage to hold up and could be mobile, but could fit your party in it also. The main mechanic of my idea was that the enemy is obviously going to know that there's something in the shield, but they wouldn't know what or how many would be in the shield? This causes them to think and plan strategically for what could be a surprise attack or a decoy.

Obviously, that would be overpowered.
Rogues have smokebomb which is similar to your idea. I could see this ability in some form or another eventually.
It actually would be kind of fun. I could see it being a channeled thing, and used maybe to protect a healer from aggro in a raid, or to protect a flag in AB/WSG.
it'd be just like a protoss mothership!
Can't see anything inside it, but you can see the cause for invisibility (the bubble/mothership).
