Exactly this. We should not be overly concerned because stamina is superior to avoidance this tier. But the mastery system is unlikely to change mechanically--so now is our best opportunity to find out how mastery really works.

To us, a physical damage spike is caused by a string of normal blocks in a row. We lower the burst damage by making crit blocks more common, so that regular blocks are less common. We lower the frequency of burst damage by turning those blocks into avoidance.
