Dampen Melee is an overhead prayer from the Ruinous Powers prayer book, unlocked at level 71 Prayer. It can be used by selecting the Ruinous Powers relic in Trailblazer Reloaded League or by purchasing the Ruinous powers book in Deadman: Annihilation.
Dampen Melee reduces 100% of incoming melee damage dealt by NPCs (40% for other players).
The prayer was originally available (as Deflect Melee) to use on a beta world as part of the DT2 Rewards Beta after having passed the relevant consultation poll, where players could playtest it in various content before a second poll was brought forward to ask players whether they'd like the prayers to be implemented in the live game as a reward from completing the quest Desert Treasure II - The Fallen Empire.

Trivia
- Nex uses a superior form of Dampen Melee (or the original Deflect Melee), which provides complete protection and deflects the damage the player would have dealt to her with melee attacks.
