New defiler questions/ward problems

[Wriggle]

<div>New defiler here and just wanted to ask are our wards working as intended?  I play on the PvP server and with both mobs and PvP I am seeing my ward as up but I am taking damage at same time. </div><div>Forgive a stupid question but are wards supposed to absorb all damage up to the given stated level or do they absorb damage on and off over time to the stated level, because it feels as if they are not working?</div><div>I am level 21 and although have loved playing my baby defiler, the last 2 levels seem to have reduced some of her abilities not increased them and made her noticably more delicate with the ward problem, have upgraded my spells to adept 1 and equipment is ok, not great but not crap and cant figure out why the drop in her ability to defend and heal herself.</div><div>Any advice or help gratefully accepted <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div><div>Thanks very much in advance</div><div>Wrigg</div><div> </div>

But there is another bug that is more serious since its not happening to everyone and it cant be worked around. Here is a post about it  <a target="_blank" href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=20&message.id=8692">WARD BUG</a>But on the warding dmg, the ward should ward any dmg regardless of dmg, lvl and so on, it does for me atleast<a target="_blank" href="http://eqiiforums.statioan%20epileptic%20attackn.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=20&message.id=8692"></a></span></div><p>Message Edited by Feanor Bauglir on <span class="date_text">03-20-2006</span><span class="time_text">11:22 AM</span></p>
