So if you're wondering why you get hit harder than others, it might be cuz your Reflex and Stamina aren't 100 and theirs is. And if you're wondering why small players seem to always succeed their debils on you, it's probably cuz their mentals are way above their other stats.		* WT Arena multiplies your stats to equalize them to 800 points in total, but only for SvS purposes.

			Light armor skill testing: it appears armor skill does make a difference. To-hit % seems to remain the same, but damage received from hits is slightly reduced with higher skill.

 One more thing. There's a sliding scale to success. 0% attacker's advantage nets ~20% success rate. 5% advantage nets 100% success rate. With spells that have a range of success, you get minimal success at 5%, with maximal success around 40% advantage. So if you've got 5% advantage, you're better off casting Rend than MB since Rend will always strip 2 buffs whether you've succeeded minimally or maximally, but barely succeeding with MB will only give minor nerve damage.
-So. Generally speaking if you want to land your Rend/MB, you gotta pump up your Int, Disc and Wis in that order. But everyone's gonna have PSY and REPR up, and if everyone pumps their mental stats too, the only way you're gonna land your Rend/MB is if the enemy is stunned, and even then you probably have to do it twice. That's really tough, since AS/Awaken takes stun away in 1-3 seconds. So good luck with that. (This is why simply using HoT to strip wards is the more reliably method!)

Bam, they get immobilized for 15 seconds. But oh wait, everyone runs AD which pulses every 1-7 seconds. Still, that's a decent amount of time, and their balance is tanked. Or you simply use Dazzle, which is Magic vs Fortitude (Stam/Disc/Str), and again their physical stats can't keep up with your mentals, and they get stunned. It might be only for 1-3 seconds, but their balance is tanked and there's a chance they lose their prepped spell. Or hey, you use CotW or ANC (Magic vs Fort spells) to lower their defenses/evasion.
