Protective Spirit

Usage Notes
This skill first became popular as a way to blunt the effectiveness of air spike teams, but is useful in a wide variety of other situations. It can reduce the damage taken by a soft target from Warriors (especially axe warriors), by 1/3, and provides wonderful protection from Backfire.

This skill is an important part of the invincimonk build that is popular for farming.

Note: Although the description only mentions attacks and spells, Protective Spirit will also limit damage caused by skills such as Vile Touch that are neither attacks nor spells. However, life steal will go right through this skill, as life steal is not considered damage.
