well to be honest theres only 3.5k active subsciptions ot vanguard specificly.  Thats why the developer team is so damn tiny.  I mean theres less then 30 of them. 

The reason i dont play dragon is because i needed the avoidance buff more then i needed spell rune.  I might go back to dragon so i dont have to joust kotasoth.  5k cold ae only doing 2k dmg would be nice ;-p

Dragons need a ton of work i wont lie, but they arent as bad as psi.  Of the 6 classes getting revamped this time
Disc - sure
cleric - uh?
shm - double uh? ( i guess rakur shm is like dragon monk, damn redhead step child)
blood mage - (lol its gonna be a nerf for them)
sorc - ok, their agro blows and their new 15% reduction does nothing
ranger - tripple uh?  i guess this is due to their change to use wisdom for range, and now all rangers blowing compared to before... but last i checked they just got attention also so its nice to see double standards.

It would take me 1 day, one on one with a developer to go through all 3 forms of monks, and get a solid list of things done.  Our community is definatly the most organized, and we have the most group input that theres already a list of stuff to do. 

Fuj have you tried playing around with crafted spell mitigation gear?

Yes its nothing close to 50% but something worth considering imo for specialty swap out peices.

I think you misread, I said spell mitigation.  AKA making a few peices of spell absorption to boost your mitigation from the AOE spell damage etc. in APW.
