Ah Rushin... Once you've been Matis, the rest just don't look right :P

Once you go pale, you never go back !

I dunno, DT, I dunno; the matisian gals tend to be a bit flat from the rear, imo *hehehe* And they could use a good fyros suntan...

I have heard some say the modes have changed but I don't see it.

Modes behaviour remains the same as in how fast they deteriote etc but the damage from explosions and gas has increased significantly. The only mode that could kill me outright (prior to whenever it changed) was a mode 4 explosion. I have more base hp these days and also dig in hp LA but now mode 5 kills me and possibly mode 0 (not done any real testing, I just try to make sure I dont do it). Gas damage is much higher than it used to be as well but it all adds to the fun, no complaints, just observations.

Luckily I dont blow or gas many sources, it usually happens when I forget to self heal my trusty side kicks focus ;)

The reason you are getting more damage from sources is that you are leveling up ;)

It is true what you say, and the grade of materials does have its impact too, but I started a new character to check some things about harvesting at lower level, and after level 11 almost all explosions kills me, despite the fact that the character is has with maximum constitution (350 hp). So I am very sure, that the damage of explosions and gas outs have been modified.

I agree, even at lvl 250 digging choice mats and everything equal, damage changed in a patch ( I think it was one that mentioned that some tweaks were made to the harvesting system ). Several players (including myself) noticed an increase specially in mode 5 -- before that, it was the dreaded mode 4 explosion. Now mode 5 kills me easily as well. And, unless you dig in hp gear or focus boosted heavy, no light armor can protect you from that..

'Twould seem that care plans are much more important at lower levels now, no?
