    As far as I know...

    MD base duration is 12 seconds.
    R2 = 15
    R3 = 18

    Unbreakable base duration is 12 seconds.
    R2 = 15
    R3 = 18

    So. Yes, ranking it up does increase duration.

    ADs that have a duration (MD, Unbreakable) are fixed at 15sec; ranking up doesn't extend that.

    AO's follow the 12-15-18 trend, though.

    Heh.

    That's what I get for going from memory.

    You are correct sir!

    I almost never rank AOs or ADs, so...

    With Nanobot swarm , SS int, cooldown gear and revitalize you can SPAM your AO and AD's. I have a toon Strange Dave that does just that.

    I think this is something that needs changed.

    Well, MD is pretty much a waste to rank up for any build that has it (since r1 is enough to give any build >100% dodge, the avoidance increase is small per rank)- the other AD's I would consider ranking if I had spare points, though. For the AO's.. there's some decent reason to- increasing duration per rank is what helps the CDR stacking builds give them long uptime when cycled.

    Try an unbreakable rank 3.

    I have used it, and have fought against it, and let me tell you...

    Breaking through that absorb is not gonna happen.

    Well, theoretically a high dmg build like a glass cannon would be the counter to something like Unbreakable, but GL getting people to play/roll glass cannons in PvP w/ all the min-maxed tanky-dps running around (and w/ the FF dmg DR being what it is, little merit to being a glass cannon build anyways).
