Saying it's still broken isn't very informative <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Perhaps stating what you find bugged with it would be a start, since it's been working fine for me since LU#16.<div></div>

<P>Jezekiel,</P> <P>Stone deaf should absorb three big non melee hits within 30 secs , or not?</P> <P>No damage is absorbed, i get full hit by spell or anything when i used Stone Deaf.</P> <P>I dont get any "absorb" message.</P> <P>How its working for you?</P> <P>Leia</P> <p>Message Edited by Vine on <span class=date_text>11-14-2005</span> <span class=time_text>04:20 PM</span>

Its working for me too my guess is you have the absorb message in chat options turned off somehow.

<P>Well,</P> <P>I have a combat spam chat box with everything turned on that i dont see in my other boxes...</P> <P>In addition I checked my log files but could not find any of those absorb messages.</P> <P>Could you post whats the exact message in the logs?</P> <P>Was looking for something like "your stoneskin absorbed..."</P> <P>I tested it on a few X4 Mobs and Vashir in Majdul.</P> <P>On Runnyeye</P> <P>Leia</P> <p>Message Edited by Vine on <span class=date_text>11-14-2005</span> <span class=time_text>04:30 PM</span>

You are both right <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> it IS working, but can BECOME bugged due to your buff list.  Example, my guild was messin round with terror and I was the pull man...wee...anyhoo first time I went in I buffed up...def stance...stone deaf...close mind, then i hit killing spirit ( what ever the last one we get is called, cant ever remember) but I hit it twice my mistake and it drops, I sonic fist in and out and start running, I see the msg "Stone skin absorbs X dmg" and all is well...a few aggro problems later I'm back to pulling him at attempt #2.  This time I have killing spirit up WITH all the other buffs and his aoe smacks me something awful...and im mad bc im like [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] didnt they fix this??? So after more experiences it came to me that stone def wont work with our health to ac buff line.  But if only it was that easy, I also noticed that while having certain group buffs cast on us could also bugg it out...how great is that! so..yes it CAN absorb dmg now...but still needs some work -Tamaran- 60 Iksar Bruiser of AB <div></div>

I have had spirit line and Stone deaf work together at same time. Remember though its not 100% chance.

Stone Deaf has worked everytime for me since last LU

[Al]

it has worked for me everytime as well, great for absorbing AE.

hmm previously it was not 100% chance are you saying now it is 100%? O haven't checked it since LU16 to see if it missed any times, but now that i think of it i don't recall ever gettign nuked over 10% with it on after LU16. <p>Message Edited by Gungo on <span class=date_text>11-14-2005</span> <span class=time_text>02:24 PM</span>

It doesnt have 100% chance to absorb. I used it many times after Lu16. It always works vs. low level spells like smite, lightning burst...etc However, it only works 50% of the time vs. Ice comet, ball of incineration (I tested it with a wizard.)

<DIV>The terrorantula example sounds like it might have to do with having too many buffs up? Is there a way to fill your buff bar and not have any more work? It sounds like a raid buffed person, putting all his self buffs on and leaving this one for last, had the trouble.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyone able to test this theory?</DIV>

What I do know though is that the visual buff limit is 30 icons, no more will be displayed. But I'm fairly certain they keep piling on afterwards, I've seen when others drop the ones that wasn't shown would then appear.</span><div></div>
