Tooltip

The crystal reacts when struck, encasing the attacker in a shell that absorbs incoming damage and healing. Initially the shell can absorb up to 15% of max health in damage, but healing absorbed by the shell is added to this total, up to a cap of 75% of max health. The shell breaks when it cannot absorb any more damage.

  2. Effect 2 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 42. It triggers Crystal Shell.
  3. Effect 3 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 245. Its base value is -50.
  4. Effect 4 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 245. Its base value is -50.
  5. Effect 5 is Apply Aura (effect type 6). It applies aura type 245. Its base value is -50.
