Soul Link is a Link skill that targets an allied player to apply a buff which links you to them for a duration. While linked, your Energy Shield intercepts some of the damage they would take. If the target dies while linked, you will also die. This skill cannot be used by Totems, Traps, or Mines.
Intercepting damage does count as damaging Energy Shield, and therefore will interrupt Energy Shield's recharge and reset it's recharge cooldown.
Damage intercepted by the player is not considered as hit and therefore doesn't trigger if you’ve been Hit effects.
Player defenses have no influence on intercepted damage. Only linked target defenses are taken into consideration.
For example, if you have 50% Fire Resistance and your linked target has only 10% Fire Resistance, when hit by 100 fire damage, your linked target's defenses will lower this amount down to 90 fire damage, from which you will intercept 27 (30% of 90) damage, which will result in your linked target suffering only 63 fire damage.
Likewise, if you have 0% Fire Resistance and your linked target has 75% Fire Resistance, when hit by 100 fire damage, your linked target's defenses will lower this amount down to 25 fire damage, from which you will intercept 7.5 (30% from 25) damage, resulting in your linked target suffering only 17.5 fire damage.
Note that for clarity sake none of the above examples incorporates Linked target takes (5-14)% less Damage component of this skill.
