Steps:
1. Maintained my int the same as the worm holding same worm
2. Let it cast spells on me with with varying amounts vallation merits and 3 runes.
3.
Code:
no wards ward no merits 2 merits 4 merits
Stone IV 437 240 231 222
stonega III 498 273 263 253
quake 662 364 350 337
From that you get about 47% to a little over 47% reduction with 2 merits and 3 runes or 49 to a little over 49% with 4 merits. No merits would've been 45%...
So in conclusion while it says it provides an additional point of dmg reduction per rune harbored it seems more like 1% per merit for 3 runes. Not sure if bug or just bad translation but 5/3% reduction per rune fully merited when no merits is 15% seems a weaker than merits usually are
