It is almost like the brew does not boost magic evasion the same way it boosts defense & attack & magic attack.
This has erased any lingering temptation to use a brew on some just to see what happens.
Admittedly - we went in completely dumb to an Albumen once and 3 of us brewed at once - we still all died to en-doom.
We have brewed WoC at least 7-8x - always physical WS though (we have a thf in our LS who laughs @ silt gain, lives on dragon kills - and has near-capped silt all the time - AG Mythic and AG empy). We've tried a couple of times with Runefencer reso spam - no difference. Once w/ DRG spam - no difference. Warrior was closest we got w/ DMG output and this was our first win. I completely forgot some important things (didn't do any JA until halfway through the fight, and completely forgot 1hrs haha!)
WOC always ends up with something completely stupid Benediction spam, petrification, etc. I do not think I've ever seen a transcended player charmed though - maybe I just don't recall. While I have earring - he's an awfully stingy ***.
