[QUOTE="Zsig, post: 4390151, member: 56809"] IIRC, they just ignore [I]Miss[/I] effects, otherwise, any damage and they're gone. Just treat them as having both Evasion and Mettle. (and applying it to any sort of attack, and not just Close or Area attacks) @Fedifensor I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I'd rather just bump Int and Con every time I get to increase a stat and call it a day. I'm not that much into MAD. I mean, I won't go out of my way spreading my points thinly among 5 or so attributes only so that at 11th+ or so level I'd be able to kill minions (and that's providing your DM is dumb enough to clump them together) with one hit, hell, I'm a Defender, let the Wizard deal with the minions, it's his job anyway. Yeah, we still gotta see this guy's Paragon Paths, and I agree. I'm seeing the Shielding Swordmage ( high Int and Con, with low Str like about 12) as being way better than the Assault Swordmage. If only we could add our Int mod to damage on that basic attack from the Aegis, then I think we'd have a deal. I'll be playing one next monday, so far it looks like this: Eladrin Str 12/ Con 16 (+3 fort) Dex 12/ Int 18 (+4 ref) Wis 8 / Cha 12 (+1 will) Aegis of Shielding Booming Blade Lightning Lure Chilling Blow Frost Backlash Eladrin Soldier I'll not worry about getting Hide armor up until I get to lvl 11, which at that point I'll retrain something for the Armor Spec (Hide) at the same time. I've been wondering if it's really all that effective to MC into Wizard... [/QUOTE]
