Talk:Union

This spirit does not seem to always receive 15 damage when it prevents damage. Select one while observing a PVP match and you'll see it take less than 15 damage at time.
 * Hmmm interessting. Maybe it gets less than 15 damage when less than 15 damage is prevented? --Xeeron 05:39, 21 May 2006 (CDT)
 * I play a communing Ritualist, and have noticed that Union lasts much longer when I'm protecting a 55 monk (even against mobs such as the Grasping Darkness). I didn't think to check the damage numbers though. Zoe 18:34, 7 June 2006 (CDT)

Damage Reduction
I tested the damage reduction relationship with Shelter in the Isle of the Nameless. Using Union after Shelter will generate an additional 15 damage reduction. However, since Shielding Hands is an enchantment it acts before binding rituals; so it cannot reduce damage after Shelter like Union can. (T/C) 01:24, 5 June 2006 (CDT)
