Hey all,

Had a chat to zenythe in game today regarding this haub.

i recently got mine to level 10, and the proc just never goes off in duels, and so far not in rvr either. I was lead to believe by /delve it procs when struck by a spell, and over 40000 nukes later, of all different kinds of magic damage, it procced twice, and even those didnt convert to heals properly.

has anyone else got this haub to 10 and done some testing with it?

i wouldnt mind normally but i fixed my final template around it and spent around 100p in the process, which i cant afford, nor have the time to change it.

any feedback would be appreciated! :)

It procs when you get hit in melee, like any reactive proc.

There is currently no mechanic in the game that would allow an armour proc to go off when you take spell damage, since spell attacks are not targetted against different parts of your body in the same way that melee attacks are.

I notice it go off in RvR a few times every night... usually because it's up when a fight is over because the enemy casters have all died and their tanks have taken a swing at me while I'm finishing them off! :p

I've not taken much notice of it's healing properties, as it tends to get lost among the general heal spam, but I have on occasion been quite pleasantly suprised when it's converted a 400+ damage nuke when I've been grappled next to a PBAEer! ;)

i dont understand what your saying...

"It procs when you get hit in melee, like any reactive proc."

"but I have on occasion been quite pleasantly suprised when it's converted a 400+ damage nuke when I've been grappled next to a PBAEer!

please clarify, im totally confused about this.

if it procs in melle, than mine has never procced then. its procced twice, once when a sm pet lifetapped me, and once off a baseline dark nuke spell.

you get hit in melee, proc goes off.
proc stays on you for 10 mins
next nuke will do half dmg and you will be healed by the other half, in effect negating the nuke.

had it proc a few times when i was farming in ml7 and it would abs the djinn mobs nukes, pretty useless in RvR.

Still better than some crappy dot, and the arrogance can be nice.

Also looks leet :)

looks good aye, but i dont rate the charge, it used to be a proc and procced a lot, it was handy then cuz you dont get the side effects instantly, maybe 40 seconds or so... now the 20 seconds is over and you still have ma train on you, this time doing SERIOUS damage to you, its suicidal for a healer imo ;o

gonna redo with either ml2.10 or gov :(

it used to have the BEST proc ever on bp

i abused it lots when i made my video, malice charge reactive which used to go off every time hauberk was hit (so 50% of the time u were hit in melee)

then it got fixed and now its the spell thing, procs only in a melee fight but lasts until u die, cba to host screenie but had it do this once

Golestandt hits you for 1900 damage!
your buffer absorbs 850 damage!
you are hit for 850!

a dragon raider essential imo :p
