Slow Mitigation?

[Raxton]

I'm wondering how slow mitigation works on the server. Specifically a few questions:

Are slow mitigating mobs capped at a certain % slowed?

Is there any benefit to using a better slow spell over another one on mitigating mobs? I.e. is lvl 51 turgors provide just as much slowing as a 65 archaic?

Do slow focus effects provide any benefit to mobs which mitigate slow? If the initial unfocused slow already caps out the maximum benefit of slowing, then these are useless?

Can one tell if a mob mitigates slow without parsing?


Thanks,
-Raxten

Aux > Slow

Also makes me wonder if it was really necessary to nerf the cast speed on Archaic Slow...

 

[Draeos]

speaking of, how does auxing work exactly? aka the formula, does it stop being effective after set amount of aux's or ac? ect ect

 

[Draeos]

u are amazing thank you

So your just adding to my wondering...

Auxing really is > Slow, yet slow got nerfed hehe.


I hate to say, often my shm aux's and heals instead of doing slows, makes my tanks live longer x)

I can try (have to) slow the mobs on inc, and be ready to heal, but it can go south fast.


But thanks for the info Zaela, thats amazing reading.

Zaela: One question on aux-ing, is it player only, or can pets help aux also?

Is that why melees do more damage when they attack from behind the mob?

 

[darksabbath]

You do more dps, overall, from behind a mob because the mob doesn't get to parry/riposte (or dodge iirc) on anything out of the front arc.

I think monk's Block is the only one that works from the back, but I don't really remember.

Everything can aux: you and your pets aux npcs, npcs aux your tanks, etc.

Your a quoting duck?

 

[Rari]

It was more of a suggestion. I think you almost got it.
