RSB tho FTW ... nothing compares yet which is sad..

Even still, a caster can't do any auto attack damage so they have to be able to cure stifle, stun, snare, root, et cetera to continue to use manashield once it's fired.

So if you use snare/root immunity, you can't use stun/stifle immunity, vice versa. So you're left with Cure Arcane, or Cure Trauma depending on what's used.

How many classes can remove Manashield with debuffs? Not including Pumice Stones which are not as effective now. There is another option too, Bottle of Ether is a very long mesmerize that everyone in the game can use. I HATE EVEN GIVING THIS INFORMATION OUT!!

Also fear works great too. I had a Inqy prevent me from getting off manashield early one morning.

I will admit, I can't kill Arcanias YET on my Ranger, but I'm still only 79 on him. I'm hoping once I get the CoA or Maidens bow, I can better judge his strength.

But oddly enough, I got him in the red on Cyst in Terens Grasp when Cyst was only 70. /cry

What's worse is the fact Assassins can double proc rates. Stacking healing procs, warding procs, deagro procs, et cetera a well equipped Assassin can be impossible to kill.

I've played both sides and KNOW for a fact a skilled player can overcome it easily. Try it.

And an Assassin can double their proc rates.

P.S. Oh, and there are 16 slots, not counting poisons for heals or deagro. ;)

oh, and btw, scouts are supposed to dominate mages in 1v1. not seeing an even 50/50 split in your win/loss vs scouts? GOOD! go jump in a fucking group if you want your class to be properly balanced.
