Sgt. Knox Companion - Will not fail

Will not fail skill says reduce all incoming dmg by 33%

Does this apply only for the companion or for the player as well? How does it work?

Honestly not sure, it needs testing by someone with the companion and ACT. I was told by others it was companion only as he is a tanking pet. But meanwhile there are others who believe it applies to the player as well.

I don't notice anything. But who knows. My SW already has 50% DR on top of using a P negation, while gaining near immunity with shadow slip isn't helping me figure it out.

^These are the companion's powers. They don't apply to your toon. Only the "active bonus" does. It's the same for all companions.

Just a quick interjection because there is an important exception to this rule.

Certain companion attacks that "shred defense" (sellsword, con artist, dancing shield, ambush drake and a couple others) affect the enemy. Since this debuff is applied to the enemy, it increases the damage for anyone damaging the enemy (not only the companion). This is a major reason you see these companions gaining popularity.

But yes, I think Sgt Knox damage reduction only applies to Sgt Knox (near-useless)
