I need a missing detail for Transform Kinetic Energy.

I've searched and searched and can't find any clarification for this question I have regarding the Torc as a tank necklace,

The description is not specific enough to answer this scenario: suppose I am tanking Boss A while wearing the Torc, and the boss swings for 500 damage. If the torc procs, will it prevent ALL of the damage from that swing? What I mean to ask is, would I have just DR 500/-'d that blow?

If so, why is the Torc always renowned for it's ability to grant spell points instead of it's ability to grant complete immunity to damage when it goes off?

No, you still take damage when it procs.
But, it *could* be useful for a paladin/ranger melee tank build, to help fuel emergency self heals.
And is useful for an arcane or divine - always, not just when tanking.

Awesome, thanks for the info much appreciated.

DDO wiki is an excellent place for info. Here is a link:

To answer your question, every time you get damaged there is a 10% chance you will get about 20 SPs. In conjunction with a concordant opposition GS item you add a chance (4%) to get HP or SP on top of that, but neither gives immunities Hope this helps.

Yea, but the wording on the item description (and thus the wiki) in this case could be confusing.

Each time you are physically hit in combat there is a chance that the energy of the blow will be converted into Spellpoints

The word 'converted' in there gives the idea that the hit is actually converted into sp, not that the sp is created without modifying the "kinetic energy of the blow".

/wishful thinking on
Stacking DR/- would be kind of nice on the torc, perhaps a reason to make one epic too....
