Job Ability

• Grants a Magic Shield effect and enhances defense for party members within area of effect.
• Obtained: Paladin Level 62
• Recast Time: 5:00
• Duration: 0:30

Notes/Description This ability raises the defense of all party members within the area of effect. Magic Shield tests have shown that the amount of damage Rampart absorbs is variable. The currently accepted formula for damage absorbed seems to be VIT*2. Can overwrite Defense Down status from some mobs (i.e., Dhalmel's Sonic Wave ability), but conversely can be overwritten itself by Defense Down.Can also overwrite defense bonuses such as cocoon. Amount of enmity generated depends on the number of people that Rampart lands on. (similar to Warcry) If Valor Coronet is equipped, duration of this ability increases to 0:45.
