Geas of the Kind Ones


Cynic

I just grabbed this accolade on my /SR and was wondering about the defence debuff. Given that her DEF is her only hope of staying alive I won't be using it often, if at all, but if I used it and Elude at the same time would their def buff and debuff cancel each other out?

Geas is a BIG defence debuff, so I don't know if even elude would cancel it.

Yeah, I've been known to hit elude during long AV or GM fights just because my END is low, I'm out of blues and I need the power, not because I'm under threat. Under those circumstances Geas could be a nice combo... but only if I don't end up dead.

Guess I'll get on an AV team tonight and try it out if I need it.

I found it crippled me completely if I didn't have several Touch Of Fears stacked on the target to make sure their Acc was debuffed as well as Elude running. Even then I felt squishy. I have it relegated to tab number 8 (Or DO NOT USE EVER)

I'd guess that it's in the region of a 30%-35% defense debuff.
That's judging by my Kat/Regen... If I pop Geas and use Divine Avalanche (24% ish defense buff) then I still get hit slightly more than normal, but if I stack two (48%) then I get hit slightly less than normal.

It's a *huge* +recovery and accuracy increase though. You'll be hard pressed to use up endurance faster than it regenerates even when fighting enemies like sappers or carnies.

My level 50 Human/Dwarf Form PB absolutely LOVES it to recover from Light Form's crash, since he can use it whilst in dwarf form.

OK, that does sound really bad. I'll leave it off for my SR. Thanks for the input.
