That's less than 50% retaliation with a 450k GA and no DM cast on me. AS was not even close to dying, so what do I need to do to get GA to full effect?

Does J have any AC?

When I get about 200 AC on my tank, it lowers GA to about 43-45%.

Oh yeah... I was unaware that AC affected GA. Thanks for the info.
