[quote="SCRUBBER"]Protection is yet another forgotten bit of soma which just isn't used and needs a minor tweak to make it more accessible for players. [b]Suggestion:[/b] Make level 3 + protection could be stackable with auras (not PD ideally though!!). - Would balance out how OP 2nd axe is vs other weapon classes for leveling - Would add another tactical edge to PvP level 3 protection is +7 def so that same as 2nd axe on 70 str (I think its 10%?) Maybe this is too high? I'm not sure but this can easily be changed... Taking into consideration you'll need an M tag to use it almost as freely as 2nd axe and mobs can break your cast, its still no where near as good as 2nd axe but gives spear / knux / bow users an option which means they can try other mobs that only axe users could before. Before any axe users moan and say it isn't fair on them - Re-read the above - All your other auras are amazing btw i have axe as one of my weps :)[/quote]

[quote="S0RCERER"]I think creating Protect and M-Protect, buffing them and making them unusable with auras would be a better way to go. Having a way to dampen incoming damage without sacrificing an aura would be a step in the wrong direction. Magic and support/status spells in particular are marginalised in PvP and PvE, making them a choice, rather than just another 'buff' would be a better direction to head towards. If they stacked with auras, you'd just have people casting Protect or M-Protect to facilitate easier hunting without sacrificing anything in return (dodge, pd, mp regen).[/quote]
