Thanks for clarifying that, I remembered a 1:2 ratio being put in place and assumed it was 2 hate = 1 heal and not the other way around.

If you're referring to pre-LU13 stats, they won't be good numbers.

There were no "until cancelled" buffs, just 15-20 minute ones, and the fastest way to grab aggro in a raid with my troubador was to recast my buffs all at once. Also, the temp mit buff guards have was as good as a taunt.

I'm sure it's still some ratio, but those old numbers aren't likely to be the same now.

That's untrue. There were multiple until cancelled buffs. And no, the heal->damage->threat conversion probably is the same as it was then, as it is now. Buffs are create threat based on what they did.

I don't remember any on the four classes I played then. Other than the stance, everything on my guardian dropped periodically. Maybe the mage shield and buffs on the casters, didn't play those much.

All but one or two guard CA's also had a debuff of some sort, so they did damage and drew additional hate.

I could also rip aggro very easily with my warden in a group with a guardian and brigand. Still can, but only when the other two are AFK or recent WoW converts.

I soloed an epic X2 group with my bard (not yet troub) when it was blue, the game was a little different.

I played a wizard back then and we had a combination. The group buffs were all until canceled and the single target buffs were 15 mins.

Yeah, the game was a lot different back then, soloing x2s, getting 100% avoidance, illus taking 7 mins to buff the raid, wizards having most spells resisted or just being stunned while power feeding! That been said the raids were damn fun!
