On Test: VP Set Bonus Concentration Back, but with Deaggro Proc

Revel · 04-06-2008, 02:52 AM

Here's a link with my 2 set on:

As you see, the Coercer Set Bonus has been changed. This time, we get the extra 6% deaggro and a (why currently melee only?) deaggro proc on it. It does not affect the concentration cost.

On a related Test note: All my hostile procs were adjusted to 1.6 times. I saw something about it on March 25, but I guess I didn't look close enough til now. They used to be all 1.8 times. I wonder if this nerf goes live?

On a final note, 6 piece set bonus still broke even though they change the name! (Why did they change the name?)

Bastards, that should be on any successful attack. Quick, feedback!

I did a quick /feedback before I logged off test, since it doesn't make much sense.

At that amount and current proc rate, it'd be somewhere like 150-200 decreased threat/second, which is equivalent maybe to another 5%, cept not in the cap.

On the proc note, I went back and checked and read that "Maximum delays between procs was removed." Does that mean that the change was to compensate for seeing more procs overall? Looks like more training wall for me.

bah, i knew it was too good to be true - oh well though. if they changed it to " on any successfull " it will still be decent for a 2 set bonus - WTB a decent 4/6set bonus though - pst.

I logged on Test today to check this out and they must have patched it recently. My Praetor's Guard read 1.8.

That 2-set update is so fucked up.

wow, thats worthless, whoever i had this spell on anyway never pulled aggro, wtf is that proc really gunna do?

i figured it wouldnt go live TBH, but still, another chance averted to do something cool for the coercer class

That seems liek a bug if it is only procing on melee it should be ANY successful atk.

and i had to recopy my toon over because it seemed some bug caused all my procs to drop as well on test.

the change on the set bones is fake i hope

*sign*

The only reason I could see is that they consider dynamism a spell proc and now empathic link will be for melee. Who said Coercers weren't melee oriented :P

Because Illusionists have equal ability to buff both classes and scouts can shed enough hate without this "extra" feature. Its the mages who are limited by their aggro.
