That's the point. Now everyone will have Aego, for one conc slot. In my groups, that will leave two Glory conc spots.

Granted, Glory blows. But it's non-zero healage that you would not have had keeping up three Aegos.

Its great but I don't see it being irreplaceable, like almost all of the ones I've seen. All it takes is one useful effect (yeb-soth 2.0) and I will have to justify replacing the weapon, which is a shame. The activateable recast of 3 minutes is extremely shitty too.

Yebsoth's is, by my count, ~3% avoidance to MT.

If the groupwide aego has 3% parry and deflect, group wide, that's already going to be more.

I'd really like to hear some more details from Krono; a screenshot of the new aego buff (focused by 5 set and unfocused, if possible, and let us know what quality spell you have), recast time on the clicky.. etc.

Personally the Mythical is looking rather good. Will it be beat out by something for situational use? Yeah maybe.

But with group wide aego that is buffed with DPS and Haste mod, increasing DPS of all group members, avoidance skills, even if not a percentage this buff will have a huge impact on brawler tanks some of us are grouped with and if a percentage avoidance buff this enhancement alone makes the epic worth using at all times for a tank group; the clicky effect...

... It reads to me as: during the 20sec duration it reduces damage by 8%. The remaining damage is done to the tank. 50% of the damage done to the tank is reflected back to the attacker.

In effect if timed well and given a JC before clicking the buff can be rather large damage mitigation with a nice nuke attached against named and their AEs/DDs.

That is of course if operating as it reads, which sometimes doesn't happen with SoE.

Over all impression:

Its rather fucking epic.

man some ppl cant stop bitching lol

srry i cant show 5 set piece bonus i only have 3 pieces but im sure it will effect and if it doesnt they will change it

and oh oh yea the clicky is hot ok 8% dmg reduction is awsome for the big encounters eg silverwing
the recast is 5min wich i think is a lil gay 3 min would have been better

Snark · 02-11-2008, 08:35 PM

so its not even % parry, awesome.

Istaril · 02-11-2008, 08:37 PM

Considerably less impressed now. You did say it was %parry/deflect

.

Parry Skill, and Deflect Skill = Weak. It does VERY little for the group. Dirges don't even keep their parry buff up anymore... especially against orange cons. /sigh.

However, I strongly suspect it increases to 17.5 w/5 set bonus (adept III) as it matches the skill. Whoopedy-friggin do.

It just went from "Damn, we got a good deal!" to "Meh, it's epic". And while I like 8% damage reduction (I prefer damage reduction to damage avoidance, as a game mechanic), 20s/5 minutes isn't impressive.

You really think this isn't disappointing compared to some of the other epics? Ours is the worst I've seen. (For Mythicals)

Krono · 02-11-2008, 08:52 PM

i agree 20s/5m is prity shit but the clicky itself is nice

and as for the avoid it does make a prity nice diff of avoid 15.3 and it does get affect buy proc increase of deff parry def on a mt on its own is nice not to mention it affects your own avoid wich u also send back to the mt through shield ally

in the end that is a shit ton of avoid for your mt

i know the reason ppl dont like this weapon its cause it does nuthing for us as apose to the other mythicals but templars are a buff class deal with it
ps. i wanted clicky fusion but no1 ever cares what i want

oh and trust me our epic is alot better then some of the other ones

actually, those stats do nothing for shield ally. And the numbers are very minimal on a main tank against a high orange con mob (like silverwing), so you really couldn't be more wrong. This does very little for avoidance. (Do you understand the concept of non-linear stats? - serious question)

Templars are a buff class? Then why didn't they give us a buff. This is meaningless garbage. More hp was not needed, haste was not needed, those crap stats were not needed. And a crappy activateable seals the deal
