    Default Sometimes PAIN just disappears...

    Sometimes I use the Pain skill on an enemy with full health, the initial damage of Pain doesn't kill him, and he doesn't die in the first 3 seconds, but the lightning effect and explosion never happen. My skill has to regenerate like it was used, but I never see the effects of it getting used. Like it misfired. Or maybe the enemies can sometimes resist, like "magic resistance" in other MMOs? Is that possible?

    Dodge works on skills as well as normal attacks then. Good to know. And it explains the behavior I see. I do have to say that I notice Pain getting dodged a lot more than other skills. I only have 1 point in Pain. Will raising it a couple points make it harder for enemies to dodge?

    Though I would recommend putting more into pain.

    Many people say 1 pain is enough because the benefits of raising it are not enough. For every one point you invest the average initial damage goes up by merely 1-2 points and the AOE damage at the end is always the same no matter what level it is. What are your reasons for recommending more than 1 point in pain, if I may ask?

    I personally have pain maxed and the only ones it doesn't work on are the higher lvl bosses..
    Every scorn sniper and com I use it on gets stunned and knocked down.
