<DIV>The way I see it is the Brigand and Swashbuckler shouldn't really be getting hit anyway, at least in a group setting. So that really means nothing.  Yes it happens, but is a 3% change going to make them life all that much longer when "Named mob X" is hitting them /shrug.   Solo I don't think this over powers them at all.  Maybe they can last a tad longer solo, I don't think it would allow them to do what maybe they shouldn't though /shrug what ever that means hehe.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As far as Monk/bruiser I don't know what all there defensive stance gives, but seems it would fit more for those 2 if there Avoidance was somehow buffed up. /shrug</DIV><p>Message Edited by Majorminor on <span class=date_text>11-21-2006</span> <span class=time_text>02:15 PM</span>
