1) Wasn't part of point of revamp to lower defense so we arent too hard to hit? How come I can group buff to 340 at level 50, pre DoF 310 was a stretch. 2) Does defense still effect avoid, just capped?if so we need to figure out the cap.. I think it is uber low ;/ <div></div>

[Zodi]

<P>I think it would be cool that we choose who to buff and whos not., instead of AoE. I know it cost more power but, lets be greedy. LOL</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

Does Defence actually mean what it used..the numbers may still be high but is really the same thing.. Are we really upping are effective level against the mob like we used too? <div></div>

Well.. level 50 with 330 defense. tanking 62 heroics chain with a single healer. Something is working. /happy <div></div>

[crackwo]

How do you reach 330 defense?

[TunaBoo]

def is uber easy right now.. group is random.. guard temp troub necro conj wizard mostly troub me and templar im sure <div></div>

[Gaige]

<P>Troub does like +22 defense.</P> <P>Avoidance cap is 69% by the way.</P>

[crackwo]

What about a dirge.  Do they add defense like a troub?

[Gaige]

They buff parry.

[crackwo]

So dirge is more usefull to a brawler than a guardian then.

[TunaBoo]

dirge = better in mT group now.. but troub okay still.. troub better in caster group I think. <div></div>
