[edit] Notes

• Essence Bond will pay for its own upkeep cost if target ally is hit at least once every 3 seconds with physical or elemental damage. Since the slowest weapon in game attacks at ~2.7second intervals(hornbow) this will pay for itself in almost every situation provided it is cast on an appropriate ally, such as a tank.
• Not all attacks are physical or elemental. There are weapons and skills that deal Holy, Dark, Shadow and Chaos damage.
• Essence Bond will not trigger if 0 damage is taken, such as from Shielding Hands.
