Agree. Always useful to know what's happening and why it's happening. Hmm, let's equip tank gear while running through mob-populated zones...

yup, just tested it a few minutes ago : @ 490 def, you can't be dazed by normal mobs.

Heh, and a friend told me nearly a year ago that Defense decreased your daze chance. I shrugged it off as an urban myth at the time, I believe.

Lucky for me he quit, else he'd be saying "told ya so!"

Actually, defense DOESN'T decrease your daze chance -- at least not after a certain point which everyone should be at. If you read it carefully, it says "character’s base defense rating", which is always 5XCharacter level at max. This is the same way crushing blow mechanics work.
