Don't ge blinded by this spell. I tested this . i had 280hp max and i used Protective Spirit on myself. Every high damage become 28hp. it does not completely block attacks.

so it does exactly what the description says.... damnit, have i been blind

Hahah.

The description DOES NOT state that you cannot lose more than 10% of your MAX health, due to a single attack or spell. It states that you cannot lose 10% of your health. This should mean that as your life goes down so does the max dmg anyone can do to you. The description is deceiving.

Quest "Blood and Smoke" in Maguuma provides this

I thought it would negates every damage over your 10% max hp. Thx for clearing it up

If people haven't learned it yet, now's the best time to start.
Don't trust the in-game descriptions.
If you want to know what a skill does, try it yourself.

I took this skill along to the UW as a trapper (R/Mo) and it made the roundup part of the pull for a trap group pretty simple.

I was originally a R/E but this skill has kinda sold me on R/Mo.

good for spike damage

btw if this spell was no more than 10% of current health and not max, it would be WAY too powerful, even if it was an elite

this doesnt affect DoT spells does it?

i tested this and Mashekle - Jul is wrong . stop posting bs posts scap. oO



My current health was 60 i used prot spirit. i took 15 damage per attack and took 40 damage per warrior special skills. it doesn't negates the attacks to 10% current health.

Mashekle - Jul said
Ex.) the description say if your current hp is 10
all damage will become 1 (10% of 10)

WRONG

Really the hard counter to Air Ellys

alright... does anyone else find it lame that this doesnt prot against sac spells by the wording of this spell? the ppl in prot bond forum believe that sacs arent dmg but this spell is worded diff.

I am pretty sure it does not protect u against your own damage. Example , infuse health and offering blood.

Self-damaging is akin to what it is in Magic the Gathering. You can't prevent or redirect the damage you cause to yourself.
If you could do it in either game, that would destroy the entire mechanic of sacrafice as a method of balance.

WHAT trainer do i get this from!?

Quest: Blood And Smoke, Ettin's Back

Trainer: Tengsao, The Amnoon Oasis
