depends on how easy it will be to get your agrression up?

Our MT is up to 490+ agression atm without Hyran, so I guess it is not that hard to get it up.
Since 480 is required to have taunts unresistable on level 88 mobs, well, Hyran might not be that useful !

no hyran in '09 !

Firza · 01-21-2009, 09:47 AM

i think this will mean: no coercer in MT group (or am i over pessimistic?)

FouLou · 01-21-2009, 09:55 AM

i don't think so, his mana regen and dps buff will always be ok to go on mt, and coercer aggro buff foes not require any conc slot so ... no need for ours, and we will be able like that to forget about our free PoS slot, no need to keep 2 VP pieces also and for those who will get the avat BP ! kthx soe
but maybe i'm too optimistic

This isn't going to change anything with group setups for us or Coercers. I seriously doubt your tank won't need Hyran's either but who knows.

I agree, Coercers have one of the only hate transfers left and I think the taunt increase on Hyran's is the only buff of its kind.

I look at the fighter changes as having been a procedural problem...

If they didn't want the fighter's primary means of aggro generation to be DPS in D-stance, that's fine. THe changes to DPS should have been made after or at the same time as the major taunt/aggro changes. Instead it happend like it didm and we all had to be extra vigilant because our beloved tanks had a few issues holding the line. The exception was SK's, they're ridiculous.

On Hyran's:

Isn'y this the second or third time its been "adjusted"? I don't forsee us losing the most beloved of raid spots since we have other things to offer. Kinda sux that they nerf the spell that should have had an upgrade to current tier. Maybe we'll see that in future un-nerfing sprees. I also wonder about the swashie losing its hate transfer...sux to be them.

Some more intresting info.....

How does your tank have 490 aggression solo?
Every tank has a base 400 agression at 80
The highest agression amount for any tanks in defensive is an additional 37.
Lets say your tank picked up the new avatar shield 10 aggression
Lets say he has his new set shoulders, maybe even signet of betrayal.
I still cant see what gear he is using to add the ~30 aggression needed to hit 484+ aggression which is needed to make taunts resistable vs 88 lvl mobs.

furthermore aggression still adds to base taunt up to 520 skill.
