They changed BoSanct to reduce dmg in % and not a flat amount, that might be something of an negative effect when boosting in lowlevel instances ?
^This^

Was just about to post it before I noticed the very last poster got it dead on The new BoSanct is a buff for end-game where you're only getting hit by usually no more than 3-4 mobs, or hard hitting raid bosses. However against 50+mobs low level mobs it was a nerf.



Old BoSanct - Reduces damage from melee strikes by up to 81 dmg reduction

Boss hits you for 4000-81= 3919 (2.025% dmg reduction)

LvL 40 mob hits you for 100 - 81 = 19 (81% dmg reduction)

New BoSanct - Reduces damage from all sources by 3%

Boss hits you for 4000 * 97% = 3880 (120 dmg reduction)

LvL 40 mob hits you for 100*97% = 97 (3 dmg reduction)



So basically while BoSanct was good news for Endgame, it hurt boosting big time. Not so much that you can't still do it, but let's just say that the old Zolo trick would of been a pain in the ass to do today...
