Pug 1.18 notes pre launch discussion

[MartaDemireux]

First off Light Strike buff is 10 seconds, not 8 and the recast is 30 seconds not 20. Sure this seems steep but after soloing mobs 9-11 levels higher than me (cobs in copper) I have to admit that it almost seems like the evasion rate is greatly increased on it. It's like a mini Featherfoot for me. Every time I have it up I seem to evade about half of the attacks for that 10 seconds. I NEVER experienced a good rate of evasion with it pre-patch to the point where I would rarely use it or I absolutely needed that small chance of evasion.

I don't think PGL got nerfed so much, at least for solo or small group playing for fun. Definitely can't tank now unless you have every single hate-making ability though with that 60 second recast on Taunt >.<. I also have been noticing Victimize land much more often and Concussive Blow actually sticking its effect nearly 100% now. Both seem to do a bit more damage as well. My basic auto attack even seems to do more than my Pummel did. I only use Pummel when I need an emergency Second Wind nowadays though... Invigorate takes care of TP issues since it works so long as your fists are up now and not only if you're fighting.

With auto-attack I'm even able to land Haymaker/Jarring Strike every single evade unless I'm healing myself. Once in a while even landing a JS>HM>JS instead of just stopping at the HM! Patch was great for PGL in my opinion.
