Default Is using Hook Arrow to Pull Perma-Rooted Mobs Cheating/Exploiting?

Post it up!

We have an AA that allows us to summon a mob to us. It is currently working on Epic mobs that are supposed to be perma rooted and trivializing their encounter.

A lot of discussion about this, I personally will not respec my toon to take advantage of something I see as an exploit, but I HEAR that other rangers have done it.

I wont do it just because it's a waste of fucking aa's heh. Also, any of the mobs they say you NEED hook arrow on, can be beaten without.

With just 10 Replies we have:

Hexus / Ranger / Exploit

Dantel / Ranger / Exploit

Rhaz / Assassin (Ranger board leader) / Exploit

Kryntyl / Ranger / Exploit

Asismii / Ranger / Exploit

Now it gets interesting:

Sudden / Brigand / Not Exploit

Dant / Troubador / Not Exploit

JJLO / Mozerk / Ranger / Not Exploit

Johe / Wizard / Not Exploit

Zerion / Ranger / Not Exploit

Since I'm a ranger, I'll go one further and state that Zerion has 0 T8 Fabled Raid loot, which begs to question weither or not he even raids Tier 8, but I'll forego that since he is a ranger I suppose....

Not entirely surprised by the results so far...

Fucking DUH.

Why the fuck would you want a Ranger in your guild if they didn't max out DPS? It's not like they can do anything else.

Would you like us to take the AA's that increases how long our attack hawk is out too? That's some utility right?

OMG IT'S THE BEST UTILITY EV4R!!!1

Choke on vomit and die. I'm not taking hook arrow. It's not required, it's a shitty AA and ability. I would rather scrape sandpaper across my testicles while pouring tobasco sauce on them.

Forget the idea of bettering the raid at a slight personal sacrifice, even if temporary. You sir, are a retard.


I already stated it is not required for any mob. That is not the point of the discusion.

its an attack that does what it says. period. as long as the mob still does his script normally its fine imo.

Here's another scenario. Super Smash Bros.
Fox is staying on an island spamming you with his laser, you are link and use your hookshot to pull him to you. Oh noes you exploited? give me a break.

I cant see why anyone would drop the AA's for it anyways, I wont be, but if someone does, make it worth their while if it makes a few fights a little easier for some people.

Then again, if this gets held against us as utility thus giving an excuse for our arrows not being fixed then fuck it, make it not work on certain mobs, or have them just go right back.

For anyone not entirely sure of what sparked the discussion. There is another discussion on the combat boards about this subject.
