<DIV>Reinforcement - Does the hate only proc on auto attack or does it also proc on combat arts?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Intervene Lines - Did Sony ever fix these so mitigation is taken in account?</DIV>

[aislynn00]

<DIV>Reinforcement procs on CA's and auto-attacks alike.  A favorite of many guardians is Reinforcement plus Besiege, a combo which effectively constitutes a true AE taunt.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>All damage intervention lines now take the guardian's mitigation into account before applying the transferred damage.  Guardian Sphere and Sentry Watch in particular provide us with handy utility these days.</DIV>

<P>Thanks!</P> <P>I just recently received Reinforcement (Silly me forgot that I had to buy spells after 50), so it should come in handy.  And I've still been avoiding the intervene line.  </P> <P>Nice  to know.  </P> <P>Thanks again.</P>

<DIV>I don't believe it procs off plant as that is not an attack but rather a hostile spell (debuff) and reinforcement procs off all attacks (melee + CAs).</DIV> <DIV> </DIV><p>Message Edited by BetaMaster on <span class=date_text>09-08-2006</span> <span class=time_text>01:44 PM</span>

man it would have been nice if reinforcement never got changed in the DoF beta, then guardians would have been way over powered. I miss using the pre-changed beta version of it.<div></div>
