Question about Ablative Shield effect... (in General)

What is happening to my ablative shield???

I have a 4 minions team using a Rune of solitude (not on the ablative shield minion).

Here are my ablative shield stats:

Morethar
Ablative Shield: 24,653 (12,336)

Here is the effect during a fight with no Dispel:

Morethar cast Ablative Shield on all friendly Minions (8961)

I also have Haste and Giant Stength trained on other minions and the effect during battles is the same as the one indicated under each minion.

Where did the extra 3375 Ablative Shield effect go???

Ablative Shield, unlike any other enchantment, has a multi-minion penalty. This means the more minions (a familiar counts too), the weaker its effect is. See the Help! page for more info.

From WikI

There is a percentage of HP lost when the enchantment is cast on multiple minions.
This percentage is 0% for 2 minions, 20% penalty for 3 minions, 27.5% penalty for 4 minions, 32.5% penalty for 5 minions

Thanks everyone. The loss percentage for 4 minions matches (more or less) the final effect.

Well, the AS % loss is still better than training HP on all 4 minions.

Yes. I have tested it.
