Notes

• The wall does not pulse its effects, but instead only affects enemies or players passing through. Players cannot repeatedly stack protection, but after the protection expires it can be reapplied by passing through the wall again.
  • Fear will be reapplied every time the target walks through the wall (but will not stack)
• Generates 4% life force each time a foe attempts to cross the wall. This is not reflected in the tooltip.
• This skill is unblockable, goes through blind and is impossible to evade.
