How about leavin it alone ? How about letting me build a character form the ground up without makin drastic changes that change the feel/use of my character to a point where I need a respec ?

I really dont mean to sound rude, but man, gimme a break here.

I thought I'd deal with this separately.

1) +res < + def in my experience so far.
2) +res for Stone Skin. Yeah, you're trying hard.

IMO, RES is far greater then DEF. Toggled with the + health of Rooted I would take +RES over +Def any day of the week, and twice on sundays. Slotted out, in the 33+ game (32 for granite, 33 to slot it out), we can easily hit the 90 cap on RES.

The problem is the change. We are so used to +DEF thet the drastic change is hard to get used to. Think of it this way. How often have you had a -DEF effect on you, and compare it to how often you have had a -RES efffect (im fairly sure there not in the game, or at least I have not seen one to date)

So looking at the whole picture, IMO RES is far better then DEF.

I dont like the Stand and plant effect of rooted, and would welcome a mobile version, or keep it as it is and give it a +END as well as heal to compensate for the lack of mobility. I have gotten along with it, and will continue to use it, but I do remember how frustrating it was to engage TSOO Sorc's who kept poppin out of range.

I would still like to have Provoke moved into our primary powers.

Do you really want a visual effect every time you take a swing, in addition to what is already there? That’s a lot of constant screen noise.

Yes, I would. My system can handle it, Perhaps if the Dev's add "Provoke Effect On/Off" command so peeps could choose on there own. I like shinny things that go Blink Blink.

I really hope the Taunt/Provoke agro control they add to our atks has a visual effect, much like Porvoke does now. Two reasons. So i can space myself accordingly, and to show my team mates that I AM in fact provoking, pissing off, or gaining agro.
