Using Prot Spirit and Life Barrier - Guild Wars Forums

Overkill0001 · Oct 20, 2005, 10:04 PM // 22:04

If I put Protective Spirit and Life Bond on an ally, which works first?

So- Is the damage cut down to 10% health, then cut in half?
Or- Is the damage cut in half, then reduced to 10% max health?

I'm just checking because if it were the second possibility, it would be kinda pointless.

Also, If i use Life Bond and Life barrier on an ally, damage recieved is 1/4 right?

no, not when i tried

but it did stack for the 5% damage enchantment one....the one where you lose 4-6 energy per hit

hmm, i shouldn't have asked several questions because now I don't know which question you were answering.

Let me redo this:

Question 1)Prot spirit and life bond, Which works first?
-----Answer A) damage cut down to 10% health, then cut in half
-----Answer B) damage cut in half, then reduced to 10% max health

Question 2) If i use Life Bond and Life barrier on an ally, damage recieved is 1/4.
-----True or false

there we go, hehehe.

Whichever you casted first takes precedence.

All enchantments in the game work on the first in first out principal when it comes to their effects (FIFO as opposed to LIFO). If you're a comp sci background it's a queue instead of a stack.

So basically whatever you cast first gets applied first. If you cast prot spirit first then the barrier, the prot spirit reduces damage to 10% then the barrier reduces ~35% of that (depending on what you're specced at).
