Hardened Skin Comments

[Carouz]

<DIV>when i first got this spell, i posted in this forum, asking when i would use it</DIV> <DIV>a brother bruiser felt the need to call me a noob for my ignorance</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>but having used it now for a number of months, i am finding it extremely handy in raids, and have a few comments:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>1.  given that our taunts r available to use while stunned by Hardened Skin, why do the taunt hot keys dim as if they weren't available?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>2.  why can i turn off my stance while stunned by Hardened Skin, but not turn on a stance?  (learned this by using Hardened Skin and then trying to switch to defensive stance...clearly the devs want me to switch stance first)  i'd prefer that the game didn't let me turn off my stance while stunned if i can't turn a stance on</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>3.  would be nice if i could use feign death and/or my self heal while stunned by Hardened Skin (seems consistent with its intended use)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>4. did u know that Vigorous Spirit and Hardened Skin stack?  just launch Vigorous Spirit first, cause u can't launch it while stunned by Hardened Skin...the result is nice...700+ mit from Vigorous Spirit, another 2,100+ mit from Hardened Skin, and since i used my AA to buy Eagle Shriek, another 1,400 mit when my health drops below 30%..useful when tanks go down in a raid</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Shock</DIV> <DIV>70 Bruiser</DIV> <DIV>The Bazaar</DIV>

1. When I use it, everything dims except for Close Mind (which I can cast, but doesn't negate the stun effect), Indomitable Will and Pressure. I can't cast anything else oddly enough, including group taunt2. You can always turn off maintained buffs while stunned. That's what our stances essentially are3. Mmhmm.. no reason we shouldn't be able to use Feign Death but not so sure about the heal. Always irritated me that I couldn't feign while stifled, etc.4. Pretty sure everyone knew this. Taking diminishing returns into account, it probably does more harm than good though.Only real use I found for this spell is casting it if I know I'm about to be charmed. Helps me stay alive while charmed and keeps me from attacking anyone for thirty seconds, pretty useful. Of course now that they made charm cureable and gave Hardened Skin a cast time (why in god's name would they do a stupid thing like this) it's back off my hotbar.<div></div>
