    I'm curious about the effective of Slow

    How much +20% Slow from arm's lengh can slow monster's attack down?

    Does it mean normally if monster could hit you 10 times before dying, +20% Slow would make them only capable to attacks you 8 times instead?

    *It would be glad if any one could provide the info of how xx% of slow can affect monster. Does 20% from Arm's Lengh much more superior than Shadow Flare?*

    Yeah, it basically slows them down by 20%. It's rather effective, at least on monsters that it works on.

    Just like when monsters hit you with a slow it greatly extends the GCD resulting in fewer attacks. Which makes Arms Length great for big pulls because it means the damage intake slows down by a lot.

    Go and take slow, now you going to see the hell that the enemies suffer. You can take a full spoon of floasted kellogs cereal with almond milk in a red bowl before your next atack.

    1. I don't know where can I have a taste of slow debuff.

    2. I don't know if slow would affect monster as much as it affect player.

    3.* Also I don't know if the slow debuff that monster inflict to me would be the same +20% from arm's lengh or not*

    Slow is literally the reason that pre SHB on huge pulls a SCH would use Shadowflare rather than Sacred Soil, because Slow is just such good mitigation. RIP Shadowflare.

    20% Slow for... 15 seconds (?If I'm remembering correctly) is really strong and makes Arm's Length a very strong Defensive CD for Tanks in pulls. The sad thing is that I rarely ever see Tanks use. I was praised once by a DRG for using it because he also rarely sees Tanks use it.

    It doesn't effect any Boss though, or any that actually matter.
