New combat ability descriptions

<DIV>..are great! Raw hate values. Buff and debuff values. I feel alot more comfortable knowing that some of my abilities really do what the vague desciptions say they're supposed to. Now if we only had timers.</DIV>

tjek your abilities again and you will see duration on them.Most are 10 seconds to 18 seconds. But tjek out Entrench ... now if I could just get that buff on me when I raid tank.What worries me is stacking. Does all these 5% slows actually stack or do they just stack in the sense that highest slow works. Major issue with the class if you ask me.On a positive note I tjekked out our defense abilities. If they really give that much avoidance cudos to us.Ally 28% avoidanceNever Surrender 30% avoidanceNow if they stack couppled with Safeguard we can protect very well. Now that group buffs are on 10 minut timers I actually had time to play around with these. Works great as a offtank. Also great on a overnuking Caster (gonna be more common in the future)

<DIV>Thanks for pointing the duractions out I totally missed that. They're all relatively short so for the most part you'll have to use them as often as they pop to maintain them unfortunately. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Good question on the slow stacking. I know how it all worked in EQ but that really doesn't mean anything here, we already know that haste items stack whereas they didn't before. Finding out slow stackability and whether slows overwrite hastes or just take the difference would be good to know.</DIV>

<DIV>Our buffs last for 10 minutes now and return on the same timer as before too.  Good for generating agro and better able to have up all the time now with fewer casts, just have to use the quick one now.  We have a slow to cast hit point and offense buff, but our defense buff is faster and faster to regen too, compared to the other two. </DIV>
