It's damage you take.
You get hit for 80 damage. It gets divived 8 ways. You take 20. Each of your 6 pets takes 10.
If you have 50% lethal resist and that 80 points of damage gets resisted to 40. you take 10 they each take 5.
If you get hit for 80 points of lethal damage with 0 lethal resist but each of your pet has 90% lethal resist. You take 20. They each take 10.
If you and all your pets get hit by an aoe for 80 points of damage. You take 20. They each take 90.
If the attack misses you. You take 0. They take 0.
I think that covers all situations.
No matter how many pets you have in body guard mode you take 2 parts of the damage. So if you have 1 pet in BG mode you eat 66%. 2 pets in bg=50% and so on.
Thanks a bunch you even got some usefull stuff I didnt ask in there, I can see only 1 more question.
Can bodyguard mode effectively put you over the 75% resist cap or does it count towards the cap? If I have capped my resist with tough, world of pain and a patron shield so that when I get attacked with a 100 damage attack I only take 25 damage, if I am in bodyguard mode will I only take 8.333 damage, 2/6ths of that 25% giving me effectively better resists than a tank or will it hit the cap and just hurt my pets needlessly unless it is a damage type that I have low resists for?

BG ignores caps because it is not resistance, it just functions like resistance. The -damage debuff also functions like resistance and can extend toons beyond their actual resistance caps.
Does anyone know what the score with MM bodyguard mode is? I know the henchmen share my damage but is it the damage that comes toward me or the damage i take? If I have defence and the foe misses me i guess they dont take any damage...
But if I have say 50% resist and a 100damage attack hits me do they get a share of the original 100damage or the 50 damage that is left after my resist?
If the henchmen have defence or resist themselves can they evade or resist their share of the damage or does that only effect the damage they are taking from the foe directly?
