The over-shields from a warlock's healing rift clear any other over-shields the player may have.
This is particularly noticeable in conflict with a mod from the seasonal artefact (Arc Battery), which gives the player an over-shield when casting their class ability
Example:
-Warlock character
-Switch to arc subclass
-Equip Arc Battery seasonal mod in armour
-Cast healing rift
Observe:
-Player is given an over-shield at the moment of activation
-Over-shield is immediately cleared and a new one starts slowly charging from the healing rift
-
arc battery over shield is only during animation of the ability... 1 sec or 2 at most...
