well i know they can add spel mitigation like a champ.. dragon monks defensive stance gives 50% mitigation to fire/ice already.  I dont see why they couldnt add it to gear/other stances.

and id have to disagree with "increase magnificnt drunken to 25 seconds and lower the refresh to 2 minutes, would be compareable to the diamond body then"  because the only thing thats equivalent to a perm buff, is another buff thats always on.  25 out of every 120 seconds isnt what id call perm on.  Even with refresh haste your looking at 25/60s....still not even on 50% of the time.

Granted 25s on/35 s off is a pretty damn powerful ability, its not equivalent to a perm buff.

IMHO SOE opened the flood gates on this one, they gave one style of monk a perm buff that really didnt fit their goal for that style and now the other 2 styles of monk are jealous and demand similar buffs.  So if anyone i blame poor foresight on sonys part.
