Are their life is so low, though maybe I'm just unfair pride orks have at level of 1k health so you could kill him from reataliation.Micbran wrote:Actually, the real damage is around 60ish or so, I had around 210% darkness damage plus. Irregardless, the %dam boost is what's really important here, not the melee retaliation. Phantasamal shield has one job, to deal damage to attackers. The hymn bonuses are bonuses that just get stacked on top of one low-amount sustain ability. In my opinion, I think the hymns are quite powerful and don't need any sort of buff.
Edit: IIRC, I think 174 * 6 (one flurry) is enough to kill a level 50 Orc grand master assassin on hit.
It is true, though most likely it kills you too, unless you have hymn of detection, but then damage is lower too. Also once suddenly you change hymn and 1/4th damage goes away is same.(moonlight is example, though maybe I'm just not fond of melee retaliation only and spikes in general, so everything that is not reflection shield, or displacement shield is deemed worthless). Though to be fair 120 for phantasmal shield is for 100 spellpower, which is unreal, for more sane 60 it would be just 15-23 highier thne hymn+ chant. The thing you gain phantasmal shield once and that's it, you gain hymn you need and other you put points you took to get tothat hymn or chant become sorta useless, because there is little benefit of replacing your good hymn, or getting second.
