Face of the Mountain

I'm curious how much of an AC boost this ability gives. Is it the sameas the one bruisers get at the same level? I know theirs can boost theirac by 1000 or so, which seems pretty **mods 4 teh win!!1!** significant.

<DIV>Face of the Mountain does not boost 1000 ac.. I doubt the bruiser spell of same level does that either.. there is a spell much higher along our line that may equate to that.  When I use an app 3 FoM on my lvl 26 monk, I get 120 AC boost.</DIV>

Ours roots us in place for a crummy ~120ac. Heck, it does that to me at App 1. It could be percentage based. Regardless, the duration is so short it's pretty much useless

Costs 15 health when triggered, then continously drains health over 35 seconds, I lose 450 hp in that periode, with a regeneration of 61 hp/tick, this is outside combat by the way. That's about 360 health regained from healing. So without regeneration, the total loss is 810 hp in that 35 second periode.

<DIV>Yeowch, okay with that kinda drawback the 1000 AC seems more reasonable.  Ick!</DIV>
