OTHER QUESTIONS I HAVE INCLUDE:

- I have been raising my intelligence mercilessly since level 10, I am now level 18, and I havnt seen a single spammable direct damage spell which damage would be affected by intel. Word is on 15 min timer, Incite is a finisher (hate component there is affected by hate). And I don't notice my guy identifying mob's targets (PCs) all too well either. Whats up with that?

- When will "recognizing combat tactics" come into play? Where is it? I don't see a combat stack of a mob... is my GUI screwed up or is it not in the game at all, or will it make an entrance at later levels?
You GUI might be screwed up. There is a field under each mob in my GUI that will show who that mob is hating at the moment. Sometimes it is just "???", but most of the time I see the name.
Nah, my GUI is fine, I do see that little text that says what mob's target is - most of the time it actually has a name in it, occasionally i see ??? - especially if mob is my level or under. If mob is way above, or I have never fought it before, most of time it shows ???.

However I was under impression developers planned for us to see a combat stack of actions NPCs place to take, and we would be reaction to them, almost like "pre-shielding" ourselves or our teammates. I mean, 1 use of Defensive Maneuvers like "Bleak Foeman" that I imagined would be to notice a special attack NPC is going to take and use it just before that to block that attack... Need to see NPC's combat stack for that. So far the only real use I had for that ability is when I am running from a crowd to block incoming hits, or when healer was OOM and mob was almost dead, i spammed it to not die myself.
