Can't be completely sure it's a glitch, but if it's not, then they've made Divine Shield completely useless for some reason. I've had it fail in less than a second at LHC, because if multiple mobs are attacking,
a) they all take 1 GUARD to block touch damage,
b) they all take 1 GUARD to block magic damage
This goes on until all guards are used up.
Fortunately a mob can't deal touch damage more than once every 2 seconds.
There's another issue: Divine Shield only successfully blocks physical attacks.
What does that mean? As soon as DS activates, you're gonna get hit by every status effect the boss has, because physical attacks don't give you any more invincibility time.
So at BGA, for example, it's gonna successfully stun you every time you go into DS, because touch damage can't protect you.
Same applies to other MISSes of course - if BGA or his mobs MISS with their touch damage, then the stun will connect and the boss is that much more annoying. And Shadow Shifter too. So the skill goes from being useful, to being a problem.
