Hey finally a person that gets it on this thread [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]. I guess a LOT of people have forgot what it is like to play Velious. Tons more resists on mobs, lot more unslowable, a lot more mobs summon in Velious etc, etc. Fights last for lots of minutes, not just seconds like now.

So that makes frontal stun immunity a lot bigger of a deal, I don't care what class you are that has the option of being a Ogre, make it one. As a person that plays mostly healer classes that extra no damage adds up in a 3 or 4 hour group. One one will ever exceed the HP that a Complete heal can do even in Velious with BiS items. So it just will make my job a little easier, and hell maybe I can even get up and loot something instead of having to sit on my ass all the time medding with a Gnome as the tank.
