Aggro changes next LU, time to drop STR line for STA?

Cheddar · 01-11-2009, 09:00 AM

Anyone on test want to comment on the aggro changes and how we are looking. I normally run with a troub, deaggro food and the class boots which gives -45% hate.

I was looking at the STA line and am curious if if people will be dropping their STR line in exchange for the extra reduced hate.

Bah, our Assassin & (most of the time) Warlock & Swash still beating me on the parse, so I'm not worried about it.

naw if anything just adding a few points into dynamic hatred is all i would do.

I'm not too worried about it. We're losing aggro reduction but from the looks of things tank taunts were boosted through the roof. I doubt we'll have too many aggro issues.

Depends how things work out - the warlock and assassin mentioned above have a lot more tools for deaggro than Illys. But looks like the tanks will have the tools to stay on top. I believe it's possible that chanters will be first to die after the tank goes down though

Phase ftw. I take agro alot right after the tank goes down but with phase the mage nuke deagro and my rat skill i can most of the time last untill the ot picks it up or the mt is back on his feet. And no i dont feel bad for the people that get waxed when i hit my deagros lol.
