Okay, has anyone experimented with this? I've been playing on Nightmare Difficulty for a while and was using Bethany with her standard elementalist build but switched her out to focus on Merril with Walking Bomb.
Anyway, I "on paper/tooltip" raised Aveline's resistances to about 80% spirit damage reduction. 60% from Elemental Aegis (With Upgrade), 20% From Arcane Shield (Upgraded Twice), she also has a bit of Magic resistance... I'm trying to figure out why she just can't EAT the walking bomb.
Just to clarify, Walking Bomb is killing her outright from full health 1:1 Str/Con Aveline (At Level 11), with the above buffs, tested on all sorts of Enemies health pools.
Also, I have noticed on the character sheets that party wide Arcane Shield is only giving me 5% rather than the 20% it should give (Is it being split among the party? It doesn't say it should).
My end result is to be Aveline tanking, Rogue obscurring, then Laying into one guy disorienting him, and then have Merril Walking bomb and Spirit Bolt him as the Rogue Evade's out. It's not hard to time but the problem is Aveline not surviving the Adventure. (Also noticed that Rally isn't working with Aegis).

The spell/ability descriptions aren't entirely clear and accurate, which is hopefully something that will be patched. As to your question, I don't actually know--sorry.

I'm finding many of the tooltips misleading, and some the ability upgrades not doing ANYTHING...

Well, spirit bomb does the critters health in damage, and most critters appear to have much higher health than your characters (ie omy twin fang skill on Isabella is supposed to do something like 2x 460 damage, and that takes off maybe 1/2 - 1/3 of a normal mobs hp, leading me to believe they have around 1500+ hp given some damage reduction). If normals have about 1500 and you're taking 25%, that's 375, which is more than Aveline is likely to have.

During one of those loading screen tips, I think I saw one that said spirit damage ignores half your resistances.... or was it that it always deals half its damage regardless of resistance? I can't remember.
