Rune magical damage absorption

[ChaosSlayerZ]

on Other hand about Rune V:

"It acts as a shield that, when hit or cast upon, will take damage. (It doesn't block DoT damage, I'm pretty sure.) "

This is getting more and more confusing

Oh man, thanks Shin. Forgot all about VS. I've had a hard time turning up evidence I could link to, but between the wizard epic/manarobe combo and VS kills, those are pretty wide-spread tactics that couldn't have happened otherwise.

And yes, I remember when bards casting spells stacked with everything. Bards all swinging with Orb of Tishan on raid mobs. I didn't know it was ever fixed, haha.

Yeah, they went through and did a major overhaul on bards around luclin/PoP era. They also started making songs not formula/instrument based in the 61+ PoP spells. They had a dirty work around on anything a bard played, and it created a lot of interesting exploitations of buff stacking (like your tash example), it was as if a bard was a totally seperate entity when anything was used by it.

Hehe.
