I can't say 100% becuase I don't have a SK. But I have watched a few of my friends playing around with that skill, and does exactly what it says. Deflect Magic. I watched a few nukers kill themselves trying to kill an SK. I don't know the % that it works, but does turn the magic attack back on the caster.

The one u talking about is "Shield deflect magic" - used by tanks only, that really turn back magic to caster, lasts for few seconds, and have reuse time

The skill i wanna ask - is "Deflect magic" - self buff, no reuse time, lasts for 20 min, used by not only tanks but SD and SwM

The people you talked to were right, it increases the chance to RESIST magic. That is, to make debuffs not land on you and to make nukes cast on you fail. It increases the chance by 100% - that is, it makes it twice as big as it normally is. Not that useful against nukes (because the chance to resist those is not that high), but quite useful against debuffs.

[Vivisector242]

I stand corrected. Like I said I don't have a Tank myself, so wasn't 100% sure if that was the skill they were using. That description really needs some work.

[NiceDwarf]

That description really needs some work.

Yes

Omg! Guys,
Increase resistance to magic on 100%
and
Increase M.Def. on 100%
its different things!
This skill just increase chanse of fail magic when it casting on u.
Fail magic is when nuker hit u, and u recive only 50% damage - nuke was failed.
And description is right.

Still has room for improvement description wise.

I guees they could rework the description to make it moron-proof.

:D
Omg, rly, what is not understandable here?

Its all because "increase resist magic by 100%" mean +100% m def, almost all think so. And only when they learned a book, they found that no 100% bonus m def.

[FidgitTheClown]

the 100% has always befuddled me a bit.
if it increases 100%, you'd think oh, it maxes out...

but it's 100% as in multiplied by 2...

of course, it probably doesn't confuse anyone else in that same way.

[bunnyfufu69]

yeah its resist 100% off magic if u look at ur mdef passive you can see it has a 20 or 40% resist magic on it as well at increase mdef.

so you have increase resist magic which help you resist magic nuker or debuff they two way of resist 50% decrease in the damge or 1 damge hit cuz it failed no block by shield which could happen but is low.
