Block Damage Like Stout Shield In Dota?

I was curious. what spell is it exactly that the "Stout Shield" is based off of? Are triggers involved in it's ability to block xx damage xx% of the time?

Hardened skin?

oh is that all it is?

hm. how does it calculate the reduced damage when used against critical strike or damage return abilities? does it reduce the damage first and then set a lower critical bonus or does the crit still calculate full.. and with damage return ability does it get the damage returned then reduced or reduced and then returned from what was left over?

Hardened skin basically gives to the unit the ability to get a fixed amount of damage, so it can't be invulnerable.

Crit damage should be calculated before damage reduction.

I don't actually know, so no point me making conjectures.

thanks

talks about harden skin... does this thing stack? like...

100% block 20 dmg + 100% block 10 dmg = 100% block 30 dmg?

lol things just come into my mind ><

No, it doesn't. And Alex, you're right, critical strike calculates before the damage reduction from hardened skin applies.

This thread reminds me that I was going to make a damage prevention shield system for my ABuffs.

You were also going to make and release maps, but we all know how that ended up. :p

Oooooh burn, nice one Dusk :)

If peer pressure and/or appreciation does anything for you Anitarf, my friends and I really enjoy playing Old School Alliance Tactics and gave Minimal Melee a few rounds before deciding it needed a little bit more polish before we made it a regular. I hope you finish up Era of War sometime. I was/am really looking forward to some of the gamechangers you and Dusk have planned for the AoS genre.

Actualy, you don't know. It didn't end until now. Well, at least a part of it did.

I've been waiting days itching to post this response. :)

Omg yay, Anitarf finished something! That's one thing done on a list of at least five. xD

Im very sure its based on "Hardened Skin".

As a side question, can Hardened Skin reduce damage from "Dummy Attackers" ?

Yes, it can.
