Crystal Wave ignores armor and magical defense--but exactly what does this mean? Is this the equivalent of "this damage cannot be prevented" or does it get through only some types of prevention? Namely which of Protective Bond, Shielding Hands, and Life Barriers does it circumvent? If its all of them, then this seems like it is quite absurd.

But maybe thats jut me.

No - it just ignores armor and any resitance to elemental damage e.g. a creep might have.

Nevertheless this is SUCH a funny skill to use. Ever heard of Fragility? =)

Have a Me cast fragility on your target, have a W and/or R quickly stack conditions on your target an finish it off with a Crystal Wave - muhahaha! Almost certainly an insta-kill. =)
