As I said earlier, trying to sell it as mitigation sends the wrong message, and the uninitiated might try think they can save cd's while SF is up only to be slammed in a split second, because slow doesn't actually lower the damage taken.

    That's why I think saying it "reduces DPS by 5%" is really weird. It's not like Disable that literally decreases the damage its target inflicts.

    Yeah this is way of topic though. Opps. XD
