Protective Bond/Essense Bond
I was bored today, and while goofing around, I had a (not so great) idea. I thought that I could have 3 monk heroes, each with 14 protection prayers, using Protective Bond and Essence Bond on me. Protective Bond, at 14 protection prayers, drains 3 energy per hit. Since they are all maintaining it, they each should lose 1 energy each time I am hit. I thought I would be able to counter that by having each of them maintain Essence Bond on me, which would give them 1 energy each time I get hit, balancing it out. I tried going into Tombs, just for fun, and I was surprised that they still lost energy whenever I was hit by an attack. I was taking damage, so Essence Bond should have been triggered. My question is, when multiple people are maintaining Essence Bond, is the energy gain divided amongst them?
Example - 2 people are maintaining Essence Bond... would each person only gain 1 energy every 2 hits? |

You can only have a particular bond on you once.

That is false. Only one effect applies to the target, but multiple casters may each receive the benefit from the same skill on one target. |

In theory, yes, but remember essence bond you must be taking physical/elemental damage.
A lot of damage in the tome is from chaos/dark damage, which does NOT trigger E-bond. You also must be taking 0< |

I hate to say it, but your idea is not so new. Assasins use it to rush atfh.
I only found a german link, but you can see the build anyway: http://www.wartower.de/forum/showpos...43&postcount=6 (posted two month ago) |

Actually ^^^ No, Protective Bond energy loss IS divided if all are casted on the same entity.
So three copies of 3 energy loss per hit would equal 1 energy lost per hit. If the requirements of essence bond are being filled, the energy loss balances out. |
