Put A Timer On Gibby's Arm Shield

Gibby's arm shield needs a slight nerf, whether it be a timer or a certain amount of uses. I hate breaking the shield only for him to go around a corner for two seconds and have it again. It wastes t...

I agree that Gibraltar shield is a headache specially in a head on fight, add to that a purple/gold armor, and their would be a lot of hit points to go through even long burst of the spitfire or devotion won't stop him.

I can think of a debuff, 1 of the following 2,

1. he can keep the 15% damage reduction from the fortified per, but get the flinch and slow of the heavy ammo.

2. he got like a .5 or 1 sec stun when his shield is broken, where he stop shooting, moving, aiming. etc.

@jonesy0218 Rip away Fortified then. Honestly that passive annoys other players more than it helps Gibraltar so I'd rather keep his base abilities and lose most of the buffs. Forcing head to head fights is the only way for Gibraltar to win and his Gun shield is the main tool that allows him to do that. Weaken it too much and there's not much he can do in a fight.
@Zeues-1992 You're basically killing the character so he can keep a weak passive. I won't lie my main way of fighting with Gibraltar is abusing that gun shield as much as possible. Without that shield its easier to tank as Lifeline than Gibby.

  @heme725 I can respect that. But I still don't think he should be able to regenerate a shield by taking a step behind a wall. It's basically unlimited HP. It's already an advantage that he practically starts with 150 HP if the shield is used.
