Have anyone tested it yet? The description says "On resurection you are shielded for 10% of your total hit points". What does it mean?

From my understanding, it is supposed to prevent you from dying again, after being resurrected, for N seconds. I tested it and it doesn't proc from soulforged. Does it only work if someone actually rez you?

    Not sure but just add it to the other bugs for this pet that takes a year to get that no one has addressed.
    Another bug is her ability says 5% dmg reduction but if you hover over the buff icon it says 3%.

    I think you may be misreading the ability. You are shielded for 10% of your hp, not protected from dying again for a certain amount of time. Say you have 25k hp and you die. When rezzed you will have a shield that absorbs the first 2500 hp of damage. All damage after that initial 2500 would hit you as normal. So if someone immediately smacks you for 6k, you'd die anyway.

    I haven't tested mine to see if it actually works with SF, though it should in theory. Not on my gaming rig atm, or I'd test it out.

    You are most likely right - I was expecting too much perhaps. I didn't remember to see any visual indication of the shield being active, however, but I'll test it again.

    Yes, but I noticed the effect appears like temporary hit points and will go away after the period of time. I've had an option to test it in Aberrant Assault with an especially bad PUG. It certainly doesn't do much against six mindflayers let me tell you, but it does actually appear to function.

    Stupid Angel pulls mad aggro though. It has no attack, but it loves to martyr itself nicely or charge at split up groups and draw them back to you. Such an angel...

    There's a Dread Ring boon, (Augmented Thayan Bastion IIRC), which is also supposed to apply a shield to you, when it triggers, and it also lacks any visual queue. It does, however, produce a text popup that says "Augmented Thayan Bastion".

    The 10% on death bubble is an active bonus so the angel need not be summoned. It also works real well with the Soulforged armour enchant which auto resurrects you.
