Protective Spirit
Say target 1 had protective spirit on, so out of the 200 damage, only 48 was received. Does target 2 (who has no protection) get 90% of the 200 damage, or 90% of the 48 damage? -PanSola 01:37, 4 May 2006 (CDT)
 * 90% of the 200 damage. It basically works the same as prot bond. For instance if you have Bond on someone and prot spirit and they get hit for something that would be 200 damage, you take 100-(prot bond protection) damage and they take 48 (depending on max health). --Draygo Korvan 15:44, 7 June 2006 (CDT)

Armor Penetration
Does this spell have armor penetration or something? With a warrior (80-90 armor on all pieces), I take 300 damage from this spell (not using frenzy or anything like that.)
 * There's probably the level-based DL that adds to the damage. - 17:22, 22 May 2006 (CDT)

I've taken 300 damage from this too. And by the way, Mantra of Lightning does NOT reduce it even though the skill description says it's lightning damage. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.235.164.233 (talk &bull; contribs) 08:47, 2 June 2006 (CDT).

Monk protection spells seem like the only way to reduce the damage from this attack. I think it does the same amount of damage to all professions on the first hit, but i'm not sure.


 * Shelter folks. Prot Spirit cannot predict who is gonna get hit. --Karlos 01:54, 15 June 2006 (CDT)

What if it isn't really lightining?
If mantra of lightning doesn't prevent damage, could it perhaps be another elemental damage type? Perhaps the game developers never thought we would think they would think of that ;-) Or perhaps it just deals "dark lighting" damage... --Jermoe 23:56, 19 July 2006 (CDT)
 * It's actually armor-ignoring damage, I believe. &mdash; Rapta  [[image:Rapta_Icon1.gif|19px]] (talk|contribs) 00:06, 20 July 2006 (CDT)
