[edit] Notes

Bug Bug.
Upon reconnecting from a disconnect when having this skill active it will appear as a maintained enchantment. (See the discussion page for more information and screenshots.)
  • The damage redirection happens after AL from the animal companion affects the incoming damage, but before reduction by Call of Protection like abilities - That is, Call of Protection and other damage reducing skills will have no effect on how much re-directed damage you take, but the more armor the pet has, the less damage you take as a result, which makes Otyugh's Cry and other + armor abilities that targets allies useful in synergy with Symbiotic Bond.
  • The damage dealt to you will be typeless.
  • Balthazar's Spirit cast on yourself can give you energy every time your animal companion takes damage.
  • This is a Shout and cannot be ended prematurely if you are taking too much damage (unlike, for example, Life Bond).
