Thats the thing my protection is gone. I have defense down and i hit with basic. How does he take protection from me and add to max health when i have no protection. Lord of hunger doesn't state that nihilus takes from your total protection from beginning or base protection. It just states if u hit he takes your protection (25% or whatever and adds to his max protection). If u dont have protection he shouldnt be able to steal it.
Just bumping this thread.
That's my problem/query as well, Nihilus stealing protection from my characters that have no protection left. 25% of zero is still zero, right?
You're probably right, not the first time ability text has been a bit ambiguous/wrongly worded.
The whole setup is a bit weird then, the idea comes across as Nihilus is draining your protection & taking it for himself, so when your out of protection it seems like he's stealing it from out of thin air, or from the past.
Bit like the tax man.
