aha! So that's the trick...well I had low moral. (Level 8 runes) my lowest runes. Took one up to 10 tonight, and tested against one of my banes in Arena. I put it on my heaviest hitter. Went from dealing around 18% consistently, to 55%. I now know the trick.

I thank you all so much! Question: should I keep working on my own Flavius? Or you think just making my group Flavius-proof is enough?
