Talk:Strong Magic Shield (Dark Souls II)/@comment-166.127.1.184-20150218195712

I'm amazed how little use this spell gets. It's one of my favourite buffs in the game, since it can make a shield that has overall low damage reduction turn into a convincingly good tank. I used this on my blossom shield against Raime, and I was honestly blocking 95% of his damage output, while still having enough stamina to counter.

It's situational, I'm sure, but I'd strongly advice anyone with the stats to use this sorcery.
