Can we improve icefall mantle a bit?

As an exotic, the overshield can be useful at times and certainly a downside to an on-demand overshield is certainly a fair condition that needs to be met, but mobility plays a big part in survivability in both pve and pvp. At least allow us to lift while this exotic is active so that we can avoid enemy attacks more easily as well as properly traverse the maps in both modes. Trying to get around a crucible map without your jump ability is a pain in the ass otherwise. Plus it makes you a sitting duck for stasis. Then speed up the camera so that after the shield is active you aren't walking for like 2 seconds in 3rd person. It just makes it so you can't really do anything and it just adds to the animation that's already on par to the normal barricade. You can still shoot in 3rd person, but good luck hitting anything. Maybe make it so that we can cancel it in some way. When you activate it in a bad spot (and since you can barely move) you can literally be slow walking for 20 seconds just waiting for it to go away. And since taking ANY damage resets the timer, you can go LONGER being incapable of moving properly and without your barricade charging. It's a really neat idea for an exotic but the downside of using it just...does not fit the mobility of destiny and at times can be more of a detriment than useful.
