Amterasu Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Anyone familiar with the details of how this Guardian Defense tree skill works. 1. Is it a % absorb or total absorb? 2. How much damage does it absorb? Apologies if this is somewhere obvious. I've been looking around and can't seem to find any detailed info on the skill.

Malissant Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 There used to be a great Tanking guide, but it was removed by the author due to being out of date. In it he posited that Blade Barrier absorbed approximately 1000dmg at level 50. This really is no way to know for sure since we have no combat log in the game so it's impossible to see what is actually happening. Using it, I've found it absorbs 1 strong hit from a player, or 2 hits from a strong mob type - or approximately that in comparison. Three weak mobs hitting me ones or twice each, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoR Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 It absorbs a set amount of damage, and from player testing, that amount seems to be tied to Power/Willpower stats. It'll probably get buffed in the coming weeks as the amount is pretty weak right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
