[Spell] Modified Divine Shield?

[Koba10s]

I want to make an ability (a buff - casting mechnics similar to Inner Fire, can be cast on others)
That reduces damage taken by X%.

Do I need to use triggers or is there some spell that can be used as a base for that concept?

You need to use triggers or you can try to mess with spirit link.

You can have a dummy ability that applies a certain buff of your desire, and then use a Damage Detection System to check if the unit has that buff on damage. If it has, reduce the damage taken.

I think defend (item) has both physical damage reduction and spell damage reduction. You can use that ability but you still need triggers to give it and then removed to target unit I'm afraid

Use Damage Engine, use ANY ability that gives a buff. Then use this trigger

• Divine shield dmg
  • Acontecimientos
    • Partida - DamageModifierEvent becomes Igual a 1.00
  • Condiciones
    • (DamageEventTarget has buff Escudo divino) Igual a (==) True
  • Acciones
    • Set DamageEventAmount = (DamageEventAmount x 0.10)

ez as that

The problem with that ability is that it will reduce certain attack types only, which are piercing and magic damage. Try using the reduction factor of hardened skin.

Hardened Skin won't reduce the damage by percent though. There is not an ability which does that. Spiked Carapace can only reduce taken melee damage by a percent. defend (Item) only piercing and magic. Maybe combining them would work but it is too messy.

Using damage detection system is really the only option here which you both had said.
