As it was earlier

What guides written while Vanguard was running recorded for this ability. Kept beside the current figures rather than replacing them — the game was rebalanced across its life, so both are right for their own year.

Damage, healing and hate in Vanguard scale with your stats, skills and level — the figures above are the ability's own, not what a particular character will see.

Notes

Previously recorded by the vgoplayers wiki as: “Damage shield and AC buff (consumes Plated Symbiote)” (https://web.archive.org/web/20221002152639id_/https://vgoplayers.com/wiki/index.php/Blood_Mage)

Read from the in-game tooltip in VGO Emulator. Bracketed damage figures shown in game are the skill- and level-adjusted values for that character and are not recorded here.
