If it completely disappears after one use, then why does it cost 20psi?

I note that you play FS, so I'm going to use references to FS. I believe that Mental Strength is the equivalent of SSI (Summon Shield Imp) in FS, so it's only supposed to last for 1+ rounddown(x/50) hits against you, where x is the number of points you put into the skill. It is meant for defensive setups, not armour setups, and if it occurred for every battle, it would be very much overpowered.
oh, ok ...it makes more sense now, the description was a little vague and I was confused because it lasted the whole 90 min. before the update

Create a Psi Shield which can absorb 1 hit + an additional hit for each 50 points. (Does not work in PvP)
1 hit point per allocated point, so it can withstand the maximum damage of 50 (+3 up to lvl 150) = total 53 hit points?
or it is it hits (no matter what the damage is) that it absorbs?

This does function SOMEWHAT like Summon Shield Imp -- but not entirely..
if you have 50 points put into this skill...
it will have two 'absorb shields'-- just like the imp...
HOWEVER
If you do not lose ALL of its HP in one fight.. the skill RESETS -- meaning.. if you only get hit ONCE in a fight.. it will go back to TWO HP. -- meaning it will work FULLY again in the next fight

I dont see any reason anyone should be something other than a Purist when their level is high enough to max the MS skill..

hmm, i have a question about this skill, since the description isnt giving me enough info.

1 hit point per allocated point, so it can withstand the maximum damage of 50 (+3 up to lvl 150) = total 53 hit points?
or it is it hits (no matter what the damage is) that it absorbs?
No, I think that means that it has a max of 4 hit points (the 1 it starts with, plus 3 more-1 for every 50 points). It only gets another hp once you add 50 points to it.

NO NO NO!!!

hmm so if you have 50 points in Mental Strength, 2 blocks, you have to be hit 2 times in one battle for it to be destroyed? if you get hit once and you kill the creature, you still have the mental strength? hmmm very interesting. can anyone else verify this?
i also cant wait till im able to use, or basically when its needed to use, attunement. only if shards are stackable of course

BEST DARN SKILL IN THE GAME BAR NONE
1 block for purchasing the skill
2 blocks at lvl 50 skill
3 blocks at lvl 100 skill
1 additional block after that for every 50 points you put into it
this is PER MOB , if in one fight and you have 100 skill points into MS and the mob hits you twice and then you kill the mob well then the next mob you fight you will still block 3 enemy hits before MS is destroyed. simply cast the skill again and wallah u have 3 more nlocks to work with

That is correct... If you only get hit once in battle, it "stays" for next rounds until you get the total number of hits you have on
the skill.... it doesn't 'need' to use Attunement, see it as a pre-requisite for the skill... Regarding Squad attacks, only if the Squad leader has the skill, it will appear active in combat....
