Scholar Excog question?

[Riyshn]

Excog seems to be really useful to counter tank busters. I've had a couple of tanks get one shot by tankbuster mechanics in Omega 4, but maybe that's because they messed up the mechanics? No idea, but I imagine if we had a Scholar excog, the tank might have lived?

In an actual one-shot situation Excog won't help, because it doesn't trigger until after damage is taken. The reason it looks like it just negates damage is because it happens so fast that the client-side HP bar doesn't update in time.

I did confirm this just now in lakshmi ex, got an offtank killed with a 28k hit while he had excog on. To test it successfully, it had to be a hit that was fatal, but only barely, so that if the excog had activated, it would have saved him. Excog didn't activate, and he died in one hit that did over half his total health. (he was a good sport about it)
