@Krufix & @Herzog, When you're choosing between and  on, you're basically choosing between offense and defense/utility.

BoC boosts your offensive capabilities due to the AP, but a mantra-boosted still only adds 48 points to the shields strength. That's even less then the base-shield of locket, with a level 18 shield coming shy of being 5 times as strong.

And in case of you loose a chance to have a continuous up-time, in case you don't deal enough damage to refresh mantra. Depending on the team this will result in a significant damage loss, which will probably out-damage the 120 (Q+60%ap|W+60%ap|R&E+80%ap= 60*2) bonus damage you gain from BoC.

No matter how you twist it, BoC is always going to be a more selfish choice then Locket. The only purpose to that +60 AP is dealing damage in order to kill, not to protect.
