Does Rock Armor work?

[Cendrick Wirad]

Is this just me?  I have the feeling that, when casting Rock Armor, I actually take more damage than when going “bare”.  After I got this impression first, I tried to fight an Arena Trepor several times, with and without Rock Armor.  I consistently ended the combat with less HP when I did use the Rock Armor.

So, is this a bug or a feature?  I mean, is it that I need a higher skill in Brown Way (or Light Armor) for the spell to be effective?  Is it that somehow, despite the spell description, I move more slowly and killing the Trepor takes longer (and therefore we take more damage)? Is it something else? Or just my imagination?

Has anyone else experienced this?  I haven’t found any reference in the forums or bugtracker.

Thanks

Could you(or anyone else) test this and see how much the damage you take changes?

I actually had the same thing happen to me but this happened to me whilst i was casting the Wind Glyph and yes i did fight a Trepor and i took on more damage then when i didn't cast it. Yes honestly i think it could be a bug or an error. I'm sure the Administrators should do a good job in fixing it.

Let's hope it's nothing more complicated than a +/- typo
