Wings of Grace/Windshield

I tested with a barb
first he perditioned me for 7k
than i used wings,winged shell,Windshield and the damage was....500 b:laugh

so i would say they stack

I think winged shell lets 10% through (might be slightly higher...) so in that case, the 7k perdition gets reduced by shell to 700 (and disintegrates in that hit) and then 30% reduction = 490damage.

If anything, I think your "experiment" just might've proved that the two 30% reductions do not stack.

Your first post made it seem like a test to see whether they stacked. There was absolutely no hint that it was a random test to tank a perdition. This topic isn't for silly brag rights. All you needed was Winged Shell anyways.

I don't think Winged Shell absorbs 90% of an attack. Maybe 75%?

I really think that it absorbs the damage stated and that is ... 810 damage

Try it against a lower level monster that typically does less than 800 damage. See if any gets through.

winged shell absorbs hits but u do still take a small percent of damage...like if mob hit for 700 u might take around 80 or so...

Sorry, didn't mean to go off on a tangent.

Can you test with a naked fist fight? Damage if fairly constant in that regard, right?

Winged Shell Lv10 - Focus all of your energy to instantly create a mana shield
to absorb up to 810 damage

Where does it say that absorbs 90% damage?

and that was not an "experiment" to see if the 2 skills stack, it was just a test to see if i can tank a perdition just for fun

The skill doesn't say explicitly "90%". Have you ever used/heard of the cleric shell skill (wings of protection)? It also takes damage even if the damage quota is not used up.

From experience, it seems to be 10-20% and I used 10% for simplicity (percentage gets smaller as damage increases so you don't get one shot).

I guarantee you that if someone (or something) hit less than 810 damage while you have lv10 winged shell up, you'd still take damage.

As far as my guess goes, it'll be too good to be true having grace and wind shield stack. Besides, what Katz has witnessed seems to be more favourable towards them not stacking.

7000*(1-0.9) = 700 damage (shell dissipates after the absorption as the quota is used up)

700*(1-0.3) = 490 (assuming windshield and grace do not stack)

700*(1-(0.3+0.3)) = 280 (assuming they both stack)

Judging by the damage you took, it seems they do not stack. This was what I was trying to bring across in my first post.

Wouldn't be hard to test. Go into a fist fight without shell, and activate grace or wind shield and then try again with both skills on.
