Talk:Angelic Bond

Does the redirecting damage effect ignore armour? [What type of damage is it]

Also, will Life Bond further redirect this damage?

It would make sense for both to take effect...I believe life bone + life barrier works, so why not this one?-Onlyashadow 11:36, 4 August 2006 (CDT)
 * i'd guess, since this is a beta skill, that this + life bond would mean a 75% reduction in damage for the target, with you suffering (50% - life bond protection)+25% of the damage. --Honorable Sarah [[image:Honorable_Icon.gif]] 11:47, 4 August 2006 (CDT)
 * This is another case of "taking" and "suffering" damage and what does those terms mean.
 * As far as i (think i) know, "taking" damage involves armor resistance while "suffering" damage is mostly used in health degeneration (also receiving conditions) that definetely ignore armor. Life barrier and Life bond, both deal with damage "taken" by the ally member, so i think they won't strip down the "suffered" damaged. Ne33us 06:09, 28 August 2006 (CDT)
 * And btw this definately trigger bals spirit, I used this on a bonder during the preview. I freakin boon bonded in RA and got to TA it was hilarious. (Not a fifty five 02:21, 20 September 2006 (CDT))
 * "Taking," "suffering," and so on aren't consistent terms in GW skills. Life bond says "attacks," however, which is consistent.  Life bond won't interact with damage that doesn't come from attacks.  Life barrier works on all damage (which means not life stealing, degeneration, sacrifice, and health loss such as from Grenth's Balance).  But still, descriptions are often inconsistent.  We won't know what works until we can test the skills again.  --Fyren 06:13, 28 August 2006 (CDT)

The cost has been reduced to 5e on 9/22, making this skill incredibly viable. However, the attribute has been changed to Leadership, probably to prevent Bonders from double-bonding. --Zinger314 09:27, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
