Either Staggered or Dazed has a slight debuff to Defense (can't remember at the moment), so that may be what you're experiencing.

The purpose of these is to have one unified place to look up information, in this case, where people are. It doesn't work as well when you have five hojillion different maps that overlap/contain different users and information. Like I said...

Here's one that you could have found with two minutes searching on Frappr (and has been around for... 7 months or so)... oh, and doesn't have an eye-bleeding color scheme.

Yeah, some more complex PvE encounters besides Tank and Spanks (or, in terms of Box 4, Terrain Bug and Spank ) would be very cool. We don't really even having the whole Tank part even (then again, my research on the aggro system is like......

Because there is still an entire combat system to see field tested, that and Legion helps out... most of the time.

Penny-Arcade equals love. (That comic is where I'm guessing the quote's from.)

Yeah, it's been like that since CR2.0 release. A Passive Code, if you're spec'd for it will only add 150-160pts per Heal, if you aren't, then around 100 (for group heals, divide by 2 for single-targets, and 4 for instants). It isn't as big...

Like Rogue I am also stuck with old-FPS-clan-name-itis. My Xfire's garnet .

MxO really doesn't really have a whole lot of "uber PvE stuff". The Pandora's Box missions are the hardest PvE stuff in the game, although those still really only require a team for the last one at 50. All the other missions for Neighborho...

Since your base health of 2.6k is just that, base, it isn't affected by stats. The Max Health Bonus from Vit (or in Guardian Patcher) only work when you use a buff that increases your max health, like a lot of the Operative class buffs or...

I'm able to do really long targeted jumps still, if anything, I've gotten longer jumps now. You might want to try clicking with a red X anyway, since I've gotten that and still been able to that exact spot sometimes.

Yeah, to get 1000+ damage before resistances you'd need 120+ Viral Damage in Speed, or a little over 100 in Power. Not too hard to get really. Full Auto Redux is the damage ability in a damage-centric tree, it requires a state, isn't AoE,...

Very nice Fenix, that /cancel command is a life saver .

Ok, I'll go point by point: Code Infections take 2s to launch, I'm not sure about Infect Area, but I'll guess it's 4s just like the Howitzer attacks and TS heals. So yes, it would be doing more damaage/tick since it takes twice as long to...
