You should be able to blink/shadowstep outside of Test of Faith without taking 8k damage this is ridiculous…….

You can.

Any teleport, shadowstep, evade, blink etc… will bypass the ring.

Whats more the ring will never do 8k damage to you unless the guardian is loaded up with an insane amount of might.

Self buffed on average with zerk amulet it deals about 4k.

Afraid that’s not accurate – you’re right about being able to evade safely across the ring, but any type of teleport will still cause you to take damage. Check out my documentation near the bottom of the thread below:

Ring effects that activate when the character crosses the perimeter (e.g. Test of Faith, Ring of Fire) will still proc those effects if the character teleports across the ring. Things like our Ring of Warding work differently, and you’re able to teleport out of those without consequence. Teleporting out of Test of Faith just makes you die faster than you would have if you had dodged through the ring.

It’s not clear whether or not this is intended behavior, but as I mentioned in the thread I linked above, it’s extremely counter-intuitive, and even lots of generally knowledgable players seem unaware of the mechanics here. I was skeptical myself until I tested it, but that’s the way it stands, and I honestly think it could use a change.
