Yeah, it is that bad. Itemization is broken in the game.

Yes, as soon as this procs, I go straight to 80% resistance to mental. This item is hardly the problem though, it is merely a symptom.

Boo-hoo. You can't mez tanks. Cause tanks are SOOOO overpowered...

Chanters and bards deal pretty much all their damage in mental. Having people instantly virtually immune to all you can do for the remainder of the fight is a broken mechanic. Or how would YOU like it if someone did the same to YOU? Oh, ehere is Teh Reeng öf Ubah. It will have a 25% chance to cast ubah on yourself if anyone pokes you. Ubah: Target gains 80% mitigation and 80% avoidance for 30 seconds. Also, having these values set hard, so even if you debuff them, they are still at 80/80%.

Even with EVERY single one of my resist debuffs at master level with full AAs, i STILL can't even get rid of half that buff. Also, I have exactly 2 CAs that dont cause mental damage. So I'm causing mental damage atleast a couple times a second... so that proc is ALWAYS going to be up when they're fighting me.</p><p>Troubadors already have crap personal DPS, with this proc, tanks are un-killable.</p><p>FIX it please.</p>

And i still want this earring nerfed by atleast 90%. Not only does it proc for 9800, but its got 525 mental on it anyways. NERF NERF NERF NERF NERF!

[Cocytus]

Yeah. Don't mind them fixing it if it's a <b>pvp fix only and they don't penalize pve because of it</b>.

But then again there is the pvp scout belt so this topic is much less hot than that one. That gives scouts (the unarguably best pvp classes) immunity to melee for a short duration.
