Some damage stats from tanking a green ^^^

[bonesbro]

Our group took down Coldtooth in TS today.  He's a level 39^^^ with two ^^ adds and a ^, epic x3.  Group was a 45 pally, 39 templar, 45 warlock, 44 illusionist, 44 monk, and 46 monk (me).  I tanked Coldtooth the entire fight (except I lost agro to the pally for four swings at < 1% life) and have some stats: # attacks: 149 # hits: 3  (one from normal melee, one from a riposte, one from Crush) # misses: 70 # blocks: 29 # parries: 25 # ripostes: 4 Total deflections: 58 The 44 Monk in the group used Martial Discipline App4 on me, which says it boosts avoidance by 34%. Martial discipline # blocks: 8 Martial discipline # parries: 9 Martial discipline # ripostes: 1 Total deflections: 18 That suggests that our deflection buffs do work correctly.  34% of 58 is 19.72, so he did seem to increase the number of attacks I deflected by 34%. <div></div>

<DIV>sweet!  i got to just assuming nothing worked other than auto attack and taunts practically, but now i know this works!!</DIV>

<DIV> <DIV>what program did you use to get that data? and where did you get it?</DIV></DIV>

[Wiou]

Probably because the mob is 5 levels below you and almost grey. <div></div>

No Wiou, level of the Mob is unimportant, as all the OP was saying was, that the avoidance buff works as intended, and for that only the relation between normal Avoidance/effect of the buff is of importance. <div></div>

[Ala]

<DIV>Question: My avoidance stats suggests 75% for a mob the same level as I am (level 43 Monk).  I assume this percentile increases with lower mobs and is reduced with higher level mobs.  If you have another Monk buffing you (or any other class for that matter) is it a fixed number regardless of mob level? </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So, is it 34% regardless of mob level?</DIV>

<P>Great info there, bones.  </P> <P>BTW, are Staggering Stance and Martial Discipline on the same timer?  A few patches ago, I used to be able to use them both.  Then, there was a timespan where I would use one... and then try and engage the other and the first would cancel.  </P> <P>Was SS and MD always "bugged" and they just fixed it?</P>

<P>yeah, they are along the same spell line and were never meant to stack...</P> <P> </P>
