PL question. (in General)

The damage absorbed by phantom link - is it reduced on the PL minion by the usual damage reducers - ie AC etc etc?

No

So if you're creating a PL wall for instance it's only damage received directly that is reduced? The PL damage is dealt with separately?

And if I was to create a PL wall at the back of a team heavy AC would actually be a bit of a waste?

yes, you just get the 10% PL reduction (double AC etc reduction would be a bit much :)

Correct, a wall at the back needs TSA and MgS.

I thought that I was asking too much of damage reduction! Thanks that's been a big help!

That's why you have PL on an E, behind a massive wall. ;)

The wall reduces damage, then the PL takes another 10% off of that for the E (and you are using a RoS boosted AS E aren't you?) to take.

;)

I still prefer the ToE. I've found that investing in HP and coupling it with a ToE gives me better results than the same size tatto as a RoS and it's subsequent AS bonus.
