Errr, looking for specifics on how AR has been nurfed

<div>Sorry to add another topic about Amazing Reflexes but I find the description a little confusing:</div><div> </div><div>"Amazing Reflexes will break if the Brigand takes damage. Its reuse timer after breaking is 30 seconds."</div><div> </div><div>From that description it sounds like I can still dodge all the AEs I want as long as I don't get some form of agro (or use manastone).  Is this the case or does it go off when ever you would have took damage (ie AE hits, I take no dmg but my buff is down for 30seconds).  If a beta tester could comment it'd be much appreciated.  If I can keep my AE dodge up as long as a mob doesn't attack me directly I don't think it'd effect my raiding purformance much.</div><div> </div><div>-Thanks in advance ^^</div>

Sounds good in theory, wait until you see it in practice.To date my AR drops about 2 seconds after any encounter starts, maybe... 5 seconds on an Epic encounter.The problem is that raids are not made up of one monster, and aggro control is not <i>always</i> 100% perfect, nor should it be. When the ability says "any damage" it means <b>ANY</b> damage, self-inflicted or otherwise.I hope no-one on Live gets to try the "New" AR for themselves. However, if SOE continues unabated on it's current course, I urge everyone to post their feedback constructively after February 21st.

<div></div>This change is similar to the the imbued rings change it seems rushed with very little thought.Brigand DPS has been getting blown away by Assasins/Rangers and if this change goes Brigand DPS will suck even more.  Theres absolutly no reason to change Amazing Reflexes because if any Teir 1 class can't out DPS Brigands then they aren't playing their class.Lower our dps or increase other class dps don't NURF a class skill  just because other classes are whining<div></div>
