Never Surrender/Viligance Working?

[ArraSilverhawk]

<DIV>The stats on these two spells are impressive.  To add 3x% avoidance to the target, parry to the caster and with viligance a chance to intercept damage they are very useful.   I usually cast viligance on my healer and never surrender on someone else in my group. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>My question is, are they working?  When I cast these my parry skill doesn't go up (think this is a bug) but the targets avoidance doesn't change.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thoughts?</DIV>

The parry works on both. The problem is it dosn't stack with another one of your spells. For example, call to battle gives you 4 or 5 parry (depending on your level), that won't stack with Never Surrender/Viligance. Cast one of these first and you'll see it go up. As for the 3x avoidance....who knows. I've seen people claim they notice a diffrence, but people also claim that placebos work, elvis lives, etc,etc. <div></div>

<DIV>The 'avoidance' buffs that all fighters get do not add to the displayed avoidance. They are buffs which allow you to block or parry some attacks for them.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In order to see the effect, make sure you have misses turned on in the combat spam, get another fighter to use their buff on you and watch for "MOB tries to hit you, but FRIEND parries!".</DIV>
