Trickster Online Revolution - UPDATE: Sheep Blessings in PvP
Greetings Tricksters!
Many of you have been asking why the new Sheep blessings (Gnome, Sylph, Salamander, Undine, Raion) do not function in PvP. I have the answer.
In fact, they *do* function in PvP, however based on the way damage is calculated (and more importantly mitigated) for players, it will often show no effect. The reason for this is that the reflective damage dealt by the sheep blessings is mitigated by the player's DP stat. When you consider the already low amount of damage that is reflected to begin with, it is incredibly easy for even a low level player to exceed the reflective damage in DP mitigation, since that damage does not scale as high as other skills.
So I must extend my sincerest apologies to the sheep community, as I myself have shed tears over the lost utility of these spells in PvP, but know that we do still love you and we hope that the shields prove useful and fun in our upcoming PvE content.
Special thanks to GM_Raven for assisting the QA team in testing this issue.

and:
The development team has informed us that the damage reflected is mitigated by the defense stat. As for PvM the damage reflected is magical in nature and the specific elemental weakness/resistance will affect the damage.
Sooooo, no love for 3rd job Pure Sheeps... :/
