it doesnt seem to stack with other prot skills

i tested it on master of axes in temple:
first try with life sheath alone: at 14 prot it holds up for about 4 hits

now try with other prot skills to support it:
spam rof/shielding hands/prot spirit... it still goes off in about 4 hits

i think this should be fixed

Why would Shielding Hands and RoF work? Its not actually inflicting damage on you for it to reduce/revese.

Im suprized that you missed the fact that if you cast it, take 2 hits (out of the theoretical 4) and then renew it...it only lasts the remaining 2 hits, not the 4 it should.

Same reason how bond and prot spirit works

You have a friend with prot spirit and bond on him

He gets hit for 300 damage
150 is redirected to you
150 to him
150 is reduced to 50ish from prot spirit for him
150 is reduced by that damage absorbtion number on prot bond for you so you take roughly 125ish damage

I think the guild wars system applies damage reduction last. It goes through the skills and affects and redirects first then applies damage reduction.
