Close proximity to your allies allows you to both protect them and to deflect attacks much easier.

Close proximity to your allies allows you to both protect them and to deflect attacks much easier. Any teammates who remain nearby gain a bonus to their defense, while simultaneously giving you a small bonus to your melee, ranged and area of effect defense. Each additional teammate will grant a smaller bonus. This power is always on and costs no endurance.
