Let the AA nerfs begin....

<div>I just noticed today, in our stamina line, the mitigation increase is 35 now instead of 40.   And in the line that lets our normal attack become an AE attack, it is 3% instead of 5%. </div><div> </div><div>How much you want to bet 3 months from now, they'll be half of that.  Or even less.   I guess the only way to get any dps is to betray to a zerker.   I can't wait until they remove the level restriction.   Oh happy days will be here....</div>

it could be worse.. you could be one of the other tanks who dont get a whole bunch of free mitigation and once again are on the broken end of the "we all tank equally) slogan .. Zerkers and Guards get a nice mit increase that the others dont get... puts us back to the top of the pile.<div></div>

<div>Oh ok.  I could have swore that I got those numbers from looking at my skills when KoS came out.  I guess I was just looking at threads here that have the wrong information.    Well that's good to know that they haven't been adjusting AA's down after release.</div><div> </div><div>(and btw yeah that does suck that other tanks don't get a mitigation AA)  But then again if we choose that path to get more mitigation, we'll still never even come close to matching your dps since the only thing we get out of spending 20 points to get it is 10% dps increase.   I think we need about 200% more dps to match what you guys do. lol</div>

<div>Btw it's the wis line and as you level the mitigation goes up,its not just 35 or whatever.  When i can put another point into it it will go up by 38, so it does increase just level.</div>

[Furriest]

<div>I wish that were the case but no. If u are looking at your persona window when u select the next rank of a stat AA it only goes up the difference between the two. Think of it as a buff and each rank upgrades to app1, app2, app3 and so on.  So in this case your mit will only go up 3 not an extra 38 because the 35 is app2 and ur just upgrading to app3 or whatever rank that value is set on.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Madam Melissaford LvL 65 Guardian</div><div>Furriest Maximuss LvL 56 Ranger</div><div>Co-Leader of The Fury Council</div><div>(Lavastorm) Nektulos</div>

This is done so that the abilities actually scale to your level.</div><div> </div><div>For example Belly smash rank 4 debuffed 1008 miti at level 65 and now at level 67 it debuffs by 1208 miti.</div><div> </div><div>The mitigation increase line works the same way ... @ level 60 it read as a 35 miti increase at level 67 it reads as a 38 point increase. With the increase going is it is I assume by level 70 each point spent into the miti lin will actually be worth +40 miti...</div>
