I use it on raids quite often when a mage pulls agro, then I runs it back to the tank wait ~ 5 seconds and evade. I know it does not work the way it is intended but it works well enough for me atm. It is easier to pull it off the mages now with a swash working as a quasi safety tank then it was as a guardian.

Also since T8 I have been tanking alot in instance groups and am thankful for the ability when I dont have a dirge, coercer, or another swash or ass to dump hate on me; I handle everything but maidens chamber with ease.

It doesn't work worth a shit. It fucks up your hate position on the mob and usually goes to a random person after you dump it...instead of the tank.

So I started occasionally using this to save a ranger or a warlock, but I'm actually now finding that it doesn't work at all. I'm the only swashie on a raid, first time out the gate on someone it's not working and the mob still chases after them. Did this get borked again?

Leithe

It might have. Which fight are you using it on?

I'm finding that it doesn't reliably rescue in the twin fight in the temple of Kor'Sha.

edit - But as a note, a friend of mine on the same server (different guild) says it works just fine on that fight for him. Hmm.

It's not broken on twins, the tihng is both mom mem-whipe, so the person the mob is on may be nt hitting on him, so he's not on the aggro list, or you aren't hiting the mob before casting it.

I've noticed it on trash mobs in both t7 and t8 now. But if it's working for some people, then i guess there's something else going on that I'm missing.

Leithe

Ahhh, that would do it, I hadn't thought of that. I'll have to use a ranged attack before casting it next week, then.

I haven't realy used it in raid but i have noticed that in Grps, when tagerting through the tank if you noticed that the mob has shifted agro on to another player cast it.. Do not retarget on the guy who has agro just continue to target through the tank.. It will shift agro from the current person the mob is on to the person you are targeting through (ie: the tank). Has worked fine for me.. however sometimes if i am no more than a point behind on the hate list I have caught myself occasionaly pulling agro, but not often enough to worry about it..

From test server update notes..

Swashbuckler
Sleight of Hand should be more reliable now when dropping hate from the swashbuckler

More reliable? I didn't see anything in the description that said "maybe i'll decide to switch hate when i push this button.. maybe i won't" Sure would explain a lot though.

Thank you Sony, at least this is a start I was worried this was considered Working as Intended™

Anyone on the test server able to confirm / deny if it's functioning properly?
