In other words, can it be used to reduce damage done on tank, and can it be used to save another member frrom aggro for the duration? I thought it stopped the mobs attacking the tank, but when I looked at the log, it seemed not, anyone know for sure?</li><li>What is the chance of a monster resisting this skill?</li><li>What are the statistics for Rank 1 and Rank 8?</li><li>If epic immunity allows an epic to turn back after Walk the Plank is used, how long is the epic turned away for?</li><li>How does the damage scale with level? Any swashies in their 20's or 30's who can tell us the damage for this skill? (rank 4 = 155-259 damage for 63 swashbuckler)</li></ul><p>Message Edited by tawek21 on <span class="date_text">03-23-2006</span><span class="time_text">07:28 AM</span></p>
