Question on Tortoise Shell and Infusion AA

[Budgiette]

<div></div>Trying to work out what AA Path to take as a fury mainly used in raids.  Tortoise shell seems pretty good:<blockquote>Stuns the castor.  All area affect abilities that do not directly target the castors group are avoided as long as they are touching the castor.</blockquote><div align="left"><div align="left"><div align="left">I am wondering how others in group 'touch the castor'?  Also if IM mainly used in an MT group, then I guess this spell is pretty useless considering the MT is taking the hits from the mob!Also the AA ability infusion:<blockquote>Deals magic damage to nearby enemy when a beneficial spell is cast on an ally.</blockquote>Wondering if this is an area affect damage and exactly how much damage does this spell inflict?  (affect on mezzed mobs nearby)</div></div></div><blockquote><div align="left"></div></blockquote><div></div><p>Message Edited by Budgiette on <span class="date_text">02-27-2006</span><span class="time_text">02:43 PM</span></p>

<div></div><div>shell is a 30s duration with a 2 min recast and by touching the caster they mean that it only has a 3m range.. soooo not really as useful as it sounds</div><p>Message Edited by Dragonrealms on <span class="date_text">02-27-2006</span><span class="time_text">06:19 PM</span></p>

<div></div>Heck I have trouble at times keeping people close enough to me for group invis.  Three meter range restriction is going to make this nearly worthless.

Infusion was a true ae on beta when it was our level 65 spell - guessing it's the same now.<div></div>

<div>Someone really needs to work on improving the in game descriptions.  They should just state explicitly what the thing does... tell us that it prevents AoE for groups members within 3 meters rather than use a vague term like "touching".  Bah.  :p</div>

<div></div>if you examine it in the AA list, it tells you it's 3 meters =P that's how i know what it does.

[DarkEle]

Oh, I didn't realize you could right-click and examine the abilities.  I thought all we had was the tooltips.  Thanks!Now, why can't they show all that info on the tooltip...?  It's only a couple more lines.  :p<div></div>
