<DIV>The new detailed values for mitigation and avoidance now provide a better way to interpret the defense benefit of casting Aqueous Spirit.  At lvl 45 with Adept I, casting Aqueous Spirit increases my avoidance by 0.6%.  So in other words, I have a 0.6% better chance at completely avoiding a swing from a lvl 45 enemy attacker.  Not exactly ground breaking, but I thought it was interesting.  I really like the new way mitigation and avoidance is displayed.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<P>You make a good point. Not ground breaking - but enough for me to keep it up permanently when I solo. :smileytongue: Every little bit helps.</P> <P>Daric</P> <P>Level 37 Mystic</P> <P>The Old Guard</P> <P>Najena Server</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

<P>True, every little bit does count. Thanks for the report Kala :smileyhappy:</P> <P> If you were to ask a few tank classes out there how much, percentage wise, some of their defense oriented buffs added to mitigation or avoidance, you're not gonna hear many saying 2% or more. It may seem minute, but it definately helps, and shows that SOE's system doesn't let these seemingly small effects slip through the cracks.</P>

I always keep Aqueous (or formerly Water Spirit) up on my Berz or whomever happens to be the main tank.
