Functionality

Applies a buff that decreases ranged damage (including critical hits) given to all party members near the totem. XX damage is subtracted from each ranged hit received. Windwall Totem decreases the damage before, not after, armor mitigation; therefore, the higher the armor value of a character, the less damage reduction will be received than is listed in the totem's description.

Tips and tactics

Always use against Hunters and other attackers who use thrown weapons. When this totem is down, rush the target, once you are in range, switch out the totem for a more beneficial one, as attacking up close prevents the Hunter from shooting you.
