Tips and Tricks

  • Tested against the Knight in The World's Grave with the same armor, it took 6 shots to take my shield down normally and 12 shots to take my shield down while Radiant. Obviously, there is some slop in that measurement as it's hard to tell exactly how much "spilled over". But from inspection, the bar looked to rest at the same place. This means that Radiant Skin approximately doubles the amount of damage you can take.
  • This can be great if you're an aggressive/offensive player. It allows you to take more damage with radiance up which comes in handy because whenever you turn into a walking ball of fire...people tend to notice, and they will focus fire you down. Unfortunately it's not too hard to kill a warlock with Radiance up, which makes this upgrade really useful.
