So I managed to farm my Arcane Protection spellbook and excitedly went to the arena to test out the effects. I expected to have debuffs failing left and right, cancel being unable to remove my buffs. It was going to be great!
Well, realistically, I knew it was an EE skill, so I half expected it to suck. And rightly so.
At first test I was promptly slowed, surrendered to fire, stunned, slept, wind shackled and curse weaknessed. Then I got canceled, and lost 8/12 buffs (Arcane Protection stayed, yay!).
What's the point of this buff? What is it supposed to protect against? For now it's only purpose seems to have been to waste a night hunting in a catacomb and to burn up 10m SP, because I can't see ever using this skill in it's current state.
