how long does numbness last?
Soll2006-04-03 19:33:31
20 seconds, last time I had it. 9 damaging hits ended doing ~5600 , taking it to ~9000 damage in total.

Edit: Thinking back, 20 seems a bit long. Probably more like 10-12. I used to remember thinking it was too long to be of much use when hunting, because if you made use of the full time limit the end amount of damage would be fatal in higher level hunting places.

Numb used to be 10 seconds right after putting it up. With an Eq cost of about 3 seconds that means you get 7 seconds to fully utilize it. In one of the earlier Envoy reports the duration was doubled but the major drawback is just like Soll mentioned, you could still end up dying even from full health when it wears off.
