[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 4982255, member: 59057"] Absolute is if status effects matter. If it is just about dropping someone in a 1 vs 1 duel and comparing DPR, relative increases are more important. (hit on 19 or 20 chance for 100 damage is better than hitting for 101 damage only on a 20; where hitting on a 2-20 for 1 damage is much worse than hitting for 2 damage on 3-20) If you want to get a status effect on your enemy (which can have an impact for many rounds), or to get a massive damage spike in (status effect dying), every 5% chance counts. And since such status effects are frustrating if you are hit all the time, IMHO something can be done. @Karins dad: maybe you should also consider increase the recharge chances for some status effect powers, because they will fail more often after boosting defenses. And yes, barkeepers stay at level 1 in the small village... and the towns barkeeper in the most noble inn, where informations relevant for paragon chars could be available will be level 11. [/QUOTE]
