It seems they will be fixing deflection on tomorrow.

<DIV>am I reading that interview wrong, it seemed like he was saying you can use Feign to split grouped mobs.  I didn't think that was possible...</DIV>

<DIV>Ahh where is it all I see is some contest...</DIV>

<DIV>Did I read it wrong or did he say they were actually making or deflection <EM>worse</EM> with the patch?  He said the defection bonus was a bug that benefited monks/bruisers and that we should enjoy it while we can.  So I guess we can expect to tank worse after the patch, not better.  </DIV>

[Dooy]

<DIV>Yes you read it wrong.  The bug is for the lvls betweeh 20- 28 after that our skill raises up agaon on its own.  Before that the skill is maxed at the lvl 28 skill so when you ding 20 you are dodging like a lvl 28.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As for the pulling the encounters, there are times when one group of mobs standing too close to another group will aggro each other when pulled.  In stormhold Church they are much that way, at least when I pulled them they did.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV><p>Message Edited by Dooyas on <span class=date_text>12-27-2004</span> <span class=time_text>03:54 PM</span>

<DIV>That sucks, I thought we were getting bonus deflection back with patch.</DIV>
