Get rid of the whole damn system. Enough tweaking. 10 years is long enough. The wands were a bad idea from day one. Massively stackable damage redux is exploitable. There was never a good reason for more than 50% damage reduction.

or (since that won't happen)

- Put a cap on damage reduction. ABS is bad enough. ABS, protection, elemental shields, stone skin, resistance...etc, is retarded. More dam redux against mobs is okay, but it ruins PK.

- Shield + inherent dam redux provides all the survivability anyone needs. Make sure shield is easy to get.
