[edit] Notes
- The energy loss can be split between multiple people maintaining the same enchantment on one character. Two players with 8 Protection Prayers will each lose 2 energy per hit. Three players at 13 Protection Prayers will each only lose 1 energy per hit. Two players at 13 Protection Prayers will lose 2 and 1 energy, respectively. The first to cast takes the larger energy burden on an odd split. If characters are at differing levels of Protection Prayers, the lowest level is used.
- If more than one person is maintaining this enchantment and one person runs out of energy, all other people stop maintaining the enchantment.
[edit] Trivia
- Before it was nerfed, this skill was the backbone to a 55 monk build for farming the Underworld. According to Isaiah Cartwright, this skill was nerfed not solely because it was overpowered in PvE, but because of a recursion bug that could crash ArenaNet servers.
