    Taranus cape manawall effect

    Does it need to be on fulltime like empy feet? Or can it just be in precast?

    I believe it's a full time effect, like the feet.

    If you have two of the cape, can you swap to the one augmented for evasion when not nuking and still have the effect?

    Do you really need to keep any of this gear on to get the effect? I was pretty sure I could take it off and put it back on and still get its effect.

    It's calculated based on whether you have the cape equipped at the time. So yeah you can switch it around and it's not going to matter. I don't full time the feet when I have manawall up.

    I was under the impression that it worked similar to how it's written on the OtherWiki. Namely:
    Enhances Mana Wall as if it had -X% damage Taken. Must be worn when Mana Wall is activated and during its effect or the bonus will wear off (cannot regain bonus by putting the equipment back on).
    If that's wrong, then it'll be awesome to know.

    Finally got around to testing this.

    I didn't have the cape or boots equipped when I used mana wall, then I equipped them. 50 damage taken from 1000 needles (0% MDT 0% PDT). I'd say it's safe to say you only need to have them equipped at the time of taking damage.
