Talk:Shelter

Negation or Reduction
Does this negate all damage if you get hit about 10 percent, or just reduce the damage done to What 10 percent of your health is?


 * "You can't lose more than 10% max health from any single attack/spell." It's like putting Protective Spirit on everyone in range. If something is supposed to hit for 100, and your max health is 480, then you get hit for 48. --Vortexsam 23:36, 8 August 2006 (CDT)

you said "a single attack/spell" but this only prevents attacks, right? can anyone confirm this shelter prevents only attacks and not spells? - Coran Ironclaw
 * I just tested it in scrimmage vs L-Orb and SoMW and it does reduce damage from those sources. --  n 00kie  (Ping) 04:49, 4 January 2007 (CST)

Big nerf..
As many skills gets positive or negative rebalanced, this skills gets hit quite hard. 25 energy cost and increased health loss.. looks like spirit spammers will have much harder time with energy management now.. Amilo Robin  09:34, 14 September 2006 (CDT) Bah, this skill was a bit too overpowered before especially when combined with displacement and union. Whenever I did rit lord shelter never went down on it's own it was always up until I recast it.-Onlyashadow 09:36, 14 September 2006 (CDT)

Sweet mother, 25 energy? Kessel 09:39, 14 September 2006 (CDT)

Yes... a *full* three days after I got my Rit Lord up and running, the nerf hit. Thanks, guys, that's twice now... once for D2, and once for GW. And... just because shelter is still up after displacement and union drop doesn't mean it's overpowered... Hell, they nerfed union and displacement just the same. -Auron  14:30, 14 September 2006 (CDT)

Yes, Ritual Lord got a big nerf up their butt. Its time for people to create a new build now. Spirit spammer is still viable, for offensive one tho. -- Cwingnam2000 14:34, 14 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I think I'll agree on that one...may have to go offensive. I'm finding that it's not so much the time, but the energy cost that's making the build hard to use now. -Kanga 16:05, 15 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Very much an energy problem. If you stick with 10 and 15 point spirits it's not too bad, but one 25 was already difficult to manage and with the boon nerf as well it's nearly impossible to keep this up for long, and after boon, ritual lord, and Shelter (net cost 45 energy, boon at 14 now returns only 6), I barely had the energy to get Union off, and then was waiting.

The nerf made this skill worthless
A binding ritual that costs 25 energy and lasts for less than 4 seconds 90% of the time in pve. Is this skill bugged or just worthless? Everytime I used this skill in pve, the spirit would be dead before I could put up another spirit. When I used Union first, shelter seemed like it would last a little longer but if you use shelter before union, it won't be up by the time you get union up. I know the 10% on all party members is really nice, but it only lasts for a few seconds, takes awhile to recharge, and costs 25 energy to use.
