    I would say closer to 5%. But it's better then nothing. Feeling sadder as a warrior, but as for PLD, it's good to have. Most of 2.2 content are physical which is a far cry from 2.1 magic frenzy. So foresight is pretty useful again.

    The natural variation in damage is +/-5%. Foresight is big enough that the lowest damage you'll take while it's up is higher than the highest damage you'd take while it's down. As such, it's a fair deal bigger than 5%.
