Almost the same, [skill=text]Reversal of Fortune[/skill] and [skill=text]Reversal of Damage[/skill] both say (maximum XX) going up to 84
If the attack does more than 84 damage only 84 of the damage is prevented the rest slips trough.

It is also unlike a block in that it stops ANY damage, not just attacks, be it a 160 cold damage [skill=text]Mystic Twister[/skill] from a level 28 dervish boss, or a 15 fire damage hit from [skill=text]fire storm[/skill].
Even the 15 damage expends the 1 shot you get from RoF.

It is also unbreakable, attacks like [skill=text]Forceful blow[/skill] are unblock able, but are still stopped by RoF

becasue it stops a max of 15...67(84) and works only once per cast, it is not as effective in countering a spike as blocking, but it is a good way to reduce the damage, and RoF actually prevents 2 hits as the first hit is prevented and you are healed for that amount fixing the damage of the the next hit.

Not really. You still suffer any conditions and other effects that occur on hit, like knockdowns. You only prevent health loss.

else a non specced rof would be really powerful.

but i dunno, i really never paid attention. oo my memory just tells me eles still deal a bit of damage to me, even with rof.

System + Mokone are right. Washi is wrong.

RoF prevents damage up to the listed amount, and then heals for the same. Any excess goes through. Example: 60-point RoF, 100-point fireball. The fireball is reduced by 60, dealing 40 damage, and RoF heals for an additional 60. Net is +20hp.

@OP Point of clarity it most certainly isn't a block, so it will still activate when facing such buffs as: [skill]way of the fox[/skill]

And of course it is ineffective against vamp skills.

Ofcourse it isn't block XD lawl
and if you don't believe me use [skill]seeking blade[/skill] or something
you are just healed for the dmg that you WOULD have gotten (up to a certain amount)

the next time target ally would take damage, that ally gains that amount of Health instead, maximum 15...67

If I read his post correctly I don't think he meant that it was like a block in the way that it stops the attack from hitting just in the way that it protects you from losing health from the attack.

I always assumed RoF negates the damage and heals up to the maximum amount listed on the spell. Well nice to know thats why the heal numbers didn't match up when I used it.

,explains all This is more correct as it negates damage and heal for the lose.It doesn't block just go up to North kryta and let the Tengu come at you with seeking blade.

Life sheath is like super RoF, so it's like you're always blocking! So why would anyone run SoD when they can run life sheath! Great thread and inspiration!
