So in the last TW me and several others noticed a sin with a anti-aps buff almost the whole tw. This really did not effect me or a few other sins as we dph in TW. Any idea what buff this is or what apo gives this icon?

Thanks

b:thanks

Yes, because people really need 900+ dex or 1000+ magic just for the lulz

    Keep in mind that this only lasts for around 5 seconds or so(Lasts for i dont know how long until you are beeing auto attacked, then lasts 5 seconds only affecting auto attacks), doesnt affect pve at all and triggers when you are beeing auto attacked.

    DPH skill damage will remain the same and the buff doesnt trigger when you are beeing attacked by skills but triggers when someone auto attacks you.

    So yea this was, again, another way to nerf auto attacks even more as they already are and is probably close to useless in pvp (noone uses them in pvp, noone is buying those on HL ever and me for example doesnt even bother picking those up).

    so yea there´s that.

    Sorry to necro my own thread, do these not effect in pve because of bosses not aps'n aside steelation in 3-x or do they just not have any effect at all in pve and is only a pvp buff?

    They were pretty worthless even back when APS was a viable method of killing someone, you got more benefit from an IG, anti stun, or Dew Star since one of those would allow full immunity, the other could prevent you from being locked and having to take all that damage, and the last one would last much longer while still reducing damage significantly.

    The only good thing about them is that they stay active until you take an auto attack, so you could pop one and wait on the cooldown. Not that I'd ever use one unless that condition is met, there's always been far better choices for your cooldown out there.
