One of them the later one also gives you a agl boost i commonly cast it on the rogue cuse he grabs aggro off me sometimes also this spell is permant til you click it off and doesnt penalise you in any way.</P> <P>Also something you should know if you solo is that you can cast it on your pet and still recieve the agl bonous. </P> <P><BR> </P>

ah, thx for info. I'll check it next time.

<DIV>Wait, if you cast this on your pet, YOU get that AGI bonus?</DIV>

<P>I was testing this with an assassin friend the other night, and either it doesn't stack with another buff he had, or it's not working; the buff did nothing for him. The icon in my maintained spells bar also said it was targeting ME, which may just be a bug.</P> <P>Also, I haven't seen Grim Harbinger actually proc in about a week.</P> <P> </P>

<P>Actually noticed the same thing on Grim Hairbringer.  One reason I haven't bought the Adept 1 for it, why bother if it never works.</P> <P>V/R</P> <P>Blackoath 31st Troll Shadow Knight</P>

<P>You should get broken spells posted to the consolidated thread.</P> <P>I can confirm that evasive maneuvers shows up as targetting you.</P>

Yes you get that Agl bonus thats why when i solo i cast it on my squire. As for know if it works or not for the person you target or not. All i know is when i use the upgraded spell .... Calculated Evasion i get messages that i parry? or block anyway intercept attacks for the other person.

The spell that shows up in the maintained spells window itself is bugged as far as I know, but the spell itself works.  I use it to buff the offtanks in my group.  When I tested it last, the avoidance was  raised on target(albeit not by much)

The way this spell works is it actually allows you to block blows the other player would otherwise take.  The only way to test it and see the effect is to put the buff on someone who is being attacked and let them watch what happens when the mob misses.  Sometimes it should say in their chat window "Soandso tries to hit YOU but SHADOWKNIGHT Blocks!'" <div></div>

<DIV>Their avoidance goes up by a small amount because of the AGI bonus. Thats not the point however.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It is YOU as SK that block incoming attacks on them. You can never see that in any stat. But if you are </DIV> <DIV>close to the person you cast it on, you will help them block attacks. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It's a great spell to cast on a MT if you are in an assisting role, and on other group members if you</DIV> <DIV>are in a small group. If you lose aggro you can still protect them by using this spell.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

If I'm using a 2-hand can I still block for the target I have cast Calculated Evasion on?

Actually, evasive maneuvers works.. sometimes a little too well.  I keep it up on my wife all the time and have actually taken hits for her from clear across the zone.
