[DrK]

Back when Dark Bastion/Shield of Fear were changed to scale with DC some people expressed distress (I was all for it).


I have to say that I prefer them much more the way they are now and I think that when DC gets fixed to not drop off so quickly people will be really glad for it.


One of the main reasons that I prefer the way these abilities work now is that I only have to re-use them when their duration runs out and am still able to get max benefit from them - I can use my first crit in a fight to set them off and not have to re-apply them again until they are wearing off. I may get less of a bonus at the beginning of a fight but I get more of one at the end of a fight now and don't feel jipped when I hit DC 5.

The only things that I would possibly change about these abilities would be:

(A) Either make them so that they can not drop below their DC1 level of effectiveness (so that they are never providing 0 benefit) or to make them so that they can't drop below the level that they were at when used (though this might be a problematic thing to code).

However, When DC is fixed it might make those potential changes a moot point.

(B) I'd like to see the duration on these buffs be set to 5 minutes.
