I never used Silencing Stare at all, and the only Silence I used was random chances from weapon attacks.
something else not mentioned - is cryogenic stasis working properly? every time i use it it does nothing and is somehow gone almost instantly. allies still manage to take damage with it on too
Oh right, yeah, it seems to be buggy as hell. One time I swear that I died to a Meteor Storm while still Cryogenically Frozen - which should be impossible because it gives you 100%+ Resist to everything including fire.
But that's a bug, and I'm talking about purposeful things which might need re-balancing.
