Trial of sekhemas in party - bugged i believe

When attempting to do TOS in party we have found 2 major issues:

1. relics (for honor resistance etc.) does not affect whole group, only instance owner
2. seems like there is some balancing about max honor for classes without evasion/armor (not sure if it true) - meaning my evasion class have less honor than energy shield class, that ofcourse seems alright, BUT why is "honor damage" shared when in party ???
example: i am mercenary with 60% evasion and some armor - i have ~1400 honor,
my friend is sorceress with only energy shield and he has ~3000 honor

when only my freind takes damage i go to 0 honor and run is over, while he is still at 50% honor...
