4/18 patch went wrong direction

Says you lowered damage and increased effect of channeling skill. first of all, what channeling skill? nothing of the sort listed in skills window... Second, the damage was actually increased, for me at least. Tonight I was getting killed in two hits by mobs that I could solo just the day before! I'm talking about low green heroics here, AND blue+solos! Didn't fight any green solos so not sure there, but the rest of em tore me up (this is in Commonlands, Nektulos, and the Bloodskull Valley scout)... I was also getting interupted a lot more... and getting resisted a LOT more.

Channeling is your ability to cast while being hit and not get interupted. I have to assume it's a hidden skill (if it's not on the list, I never looked), or just an innate factor that applies to battle situations. It's not enough to offset the mitigation changes as I see them, but I can't make that a definite assertation because I don't have a character on Test. It doesn't matter how well I channel if one hit kills me. I have some (small, but it's there) faith that feedback from Test will get this adjusted before it goes live.
