I feel they are a sad too high. Taking 250-300ish damage (without AoM) per DD. Using both thats a nice 500-600 dump. A possible solution to this high damage would be to give CL Resist buffs ;/
but we already get cl resist buffs from the bb.
one reason they're so high is because we get capped everything. last time i played live i don't believe i ever saw a skald/minst template that had 10 resist pierce, 10 spell dmg, capped skills and capped charisma.
I havent received any CL buffs... I guess that is just because I'm not CL5 yet.
neither am i, you have to hit the text that pops up from the bb to get them.
