It really seems like Clarity ought to be boosting perception. It would help in PVP against stealth and range combat. I always find myself at a disadvantage against surival primary guilds; Necro's and thieves in particular. Which we ought to be well equipped to deal with. It would seem to make sense in RP being Shadow Bane's, we ought to be able to find those hiding and planning theft, backstabbing, or attacking from the shadows.

I think we lack in skill boosts in general, and as survival terts our perception skills just can't handle the stealth skills of players decades lower in circle.

Thoughts?

>>If it helps at all, I don't think you had GoL up when you combat logged on me.

Was he using watch before he combat logged?

I was watching, and you're right, i wasn't using GoL on our recent encounter. But i did try it the first time and it didn't seem to help. I don't think my perception is low for my circle, it isn't a circle requirement of course but i train it hard. It's approaching 1k, maybe that is low, but would be surprised if that's considered low for my circle.

Not saying paladins shouldn't get a perc booster, but thematically and mechanically, as a survival prime (a skillset with no stand-alone damage dealing skill) shouldn't the go-to against a paladin be to contest tert skills as much as possible? You should feel disadvantaged contesting your perception against prime stealth, the same way that I'd feel disadvantaged contesting my TM (tert) against your shield (prime).

Also there's no better perception booster in game (or skill booster period) that compares to `watch`. It easily breaks global caps. If `watch` didn't let you see a stealther, no guild skill boost will. You'll have to use one of the myriad other methods for removing stealth that don't require perception.
