Sorry, I didn't mean to be lazy, just other interesting bits in that thread too.Reading betwene the lines, we'll now get hit hard when we do get hit. With an agi 'defence' I was hoping we could boost agi and take less damage as well as avoid better...With major rethinking like that, makes me wonder how ready the revamp will be come the day it's installed...

I was actually refering to the people who would be too lazy to copy and paste the link.  You went out of your way to post the link.  That's not laziness. :smileyhappy:
