Update for Protectors - Abilities and Mirror Items (August 15, 2012)

[Karma]

The following changes will apply for Protectors:

- Interception range increased from 5 to 6 cells
- Perfect armor will add stamina instead of agility. Purple ability gives 30 stamina / 500 armor
- Sandstorm cooldown reduced to 20 instead of 60. Mana cost is also reduced by 20%.
- Bodyguard ability will result in Diamond protector receiving all damages instead of group. Maximum amount of redirected damage is a % of the group's sum of health. This ability also affects pets. Duration is 10 sec, cooldown 60 sec.
- Mirror blades ability reflects % of total magical damage to his current target. If there is no target, damage is redirected to random rival character.
- Negation of death and Deflection of magic are not affected by parry probability.

Finally, Protectors will have new mirror items.
These items will increase Protector's ability to survive - a key feature of this class. Note point 3 - Protectors will become a wall that enemies cannot pass.

Diamond Protector's set bonuses:
1. +50% to Sandstorm damage
2. +10% to Bodyguard damage absorption
3. Protector becomes impassable for enemies.
4. Protector's armor absorbs physical damage.

Semiprecious Protector's set bonuses:
1. Shield strike stuns targets within 3-cell radius for 3 seconds.
2. More Life (new ability) - increases incoming healing effect by 20% for all group members. Duration is 10 sec, cooldown 60 sec.
3. Protector becomes impassable for enemies.
4. Protector's armor absorbs magical damage.

The next class update for Mirror items will be Wizards and Berserkers. Changes in wizards coming soon. Next, Archers will be modified.

Good Luck!
