Guard of Vie line is not working

[ChaosSlayerZ]

This has been bugging me for sometime but I have finaly confirmed it.

Clerics (and posibly other classes) have a line of spells which grant you mitigation up to X dmg taken.

For Clerics this line called "of Vie" - you can look it up on Allakhazam, and its part of T-client.

when you try to cast this spell in game you will get a message:

Unknown Spell Effect 162.

So if you look at it in Bleh/Ala spell editor you will see that all of the Vie buffs consist of a single entry #162 (Absorb Melee Dmg) and 2 values: MIN and MAX.

The 162 effect should work like a cross between Runeshield and Mitigation (Stoenwall).

the MIn value indicates ammount of dmg been mitigated
the MAX value indicates the max ammount of dmg which can be mitigated before the buff fails.

Essentialy first part simular to Stonewall, while 2nd part simular to a Rune.

So for exmaple very first spell (4088, Ward of Vie) in this line has following data:
Effect type: 162
MIN: 10
MAX: 460

which means - it will reduce all incoming melee hits by 10% untill total dmg reduced accumulates up to 460 , after which buff fades off.

important note that unlike Stonewall (ID 168: Melee Mitigation) the effect 162 uses its mitigation value in POSITIVE values, rather than in negative


Could we please have effect 162 implemnedted?

Mitigation is broken.

That is all.

This is on my todo list to look into, but it may be a while.
