  » Click to show Details- click again to hide... «
  
  
  
  Khadgar's Pipe of Insight:
  ==========================
  (2050) Hood of Defiance
  (909) Natherzim Buckler
  (800) Recipe
  Total:3759
  A powerful artifact of mysterious origin, this pipe gives the bearer the insight to summon fields of null energy which envelop nearby allies, protecting them from 400 spell damage. Buff lasts 8 seconds.
  +30% Magic Resistance
  +8 HP Regeneration
  +5 Armor
  Barrier (Active)
  Cooldown: 60
  Manacost: 100
  AOE: 700
  Mechanic: Provides a 400 damage magic damage shield on nearby allied units. Affects Heroes and non-player creeps. If a unit already has this buff when another barrier is casted, it will override the buff with the new one instead of stacking additively. Buff lasts 8 seconds
  Note: The 400 damage is before any magic reductions, not after. So a 300 damage spell removes 300 life from the shield, and not the 225 basic spell resistance. It is taken off the shield before it hits you, thus before any magic resistance is taken into effect.
