Of PvP & Protect Spell

[Gor]

There are no BLM abilities which have an effect on physical or magic defence. Don't know what you're thinking.

people are getting confused between the difference of the in-game magical/defense stat and skills that help defend against enemy damage. the two aren't the same. while a skill may help "defend" against enemy damage, it doesn't necessarily mean that it does that by increasing the in-game defense stat. seems people are having difficulty separating the two. like for example SCHs cast Adloquium to get a bubble that absorbs damage called Galvanize. while it does defend against enemy damage until it "bursts", it does nothing to teh defense stat itself.

Damage reduction has nothing to do with physical and magical defence.

Would protect still be ok to cast if its seen as a protection against one ilm punch and wither?

Protect works as intended, Stoneskin is better in PVP though and the WHM should have SS'd you.

In wolves den defense is changed to morale. And protect doesnt give any morale so it doesnt work there. I havr never played in the front lines but since they chose to remove morale (which is so stupid imo, was so upset cause i had grinded pvp for months to get the pvp gear go get ready for frontlines) I assume protect should work there

Read the post from the SE rep, your statement is inaccurate. Whether or not you're in a wolves den level that uses morale or not, defense was removed as a factor from all pvp. Why is this thread still going?

Why is this thread still going?

Because people just like to reply to threads and not read any of it

idk, man, one of the first things I noticed my first day in wolves den was "oh hey, that protect animation that happens when you get hit by things protect helps against isn't going off, maybe it doesn't help here".

Protect animation also shows in i80 Sync Wolves' Den

Anyway up to me they should just make those ability being useful, I hate pointless skill, with more skill you can do more things and it make all harder.
And also I think that tanks are still a little less useful than other classes, absolutely NOT unuseful, but for paladin I would like to see more protection skills for other players (Like tetsudo).
I absolutely agree with the "Tank can't simply aim to tank in PvP", in my opinion for that I aim to give them another "role", not a random DPS-like role. >-<
