Description

Devotion (Alt: Sacrifice) is a 2nd class supportive skill available as Crusader and Paladin. It links the Crusader to a party member, protecting them and taking all of the damage inflicted on them. The party member must be within 20 levels of the caster. The damage the caster receives through Devotution is affected by the party member's DEF and reductions rather than the casters. However, if the caster activates Auto Guard, Reflect Shield, or Defender, these skills will also affect party members targeted by Devotion and will generally function as if the party members had them as well.

Notes

• If a player goes beyond the range of Devotion, their line will graphically disappear. Devotion does not deactivate until a player takes damage when out of range of the skill or the duration of the skill expires.
• Cannot be cast on another Crusader.
• When a player has Devotion, none of their skills can be interrupted by physical or magical attacks. However, certain skills, such as Provoke and Pressure, bypass this protective effect.
• If the Crusader receives damage that exceeds their remaining HP through Devotion, they will die, and any damage exceeding the Crusader's hit points does not pass to the original target receiving the damage.
• Certain abilities function through Devotion: Auto Guard, Reflect Shield, and Defender. Auto Guard works as if the target had the skill active, inducing a physical attack delay when activated. Reflect Shield only works on melee skills when applied through Devotion. This includes Asura Strike and Arrow Shower. Defender will slow all targets when activated.
• Devotion will prevent the Soul Linker skill Kaite from functioning since the damage is redirected toward the Devoted character.
• Refreshing Devotion (recasting it on a target before its duration ends) requires that the number of players affected is at least 1 less than your limit.
