<DIV>Does Concussive (aggro reducer for next set of spells) work for AOEs? In other words, if I cast concussive then cast an AOE, will concussive fire for all mobs in the group? Will it fire on each tick of the AOE (if it's a DOT?)</DIV>

the thing is, it would be if it worked for aoe. you could start out the fight aoe'ing, concussive aoe and never have to worry about hateanyone wanna try it out?

<DIV>Concussive is a limited-use spell proc.  With 1 use.  It will only go off exactly once before it is used up.  Thus, it will only affect 1 mob, as it will only go off once.  Limited-use procs used to be able to go off more than how many uses they had, but this was fixed in LU19.</DIV>

<DIV>I was think about the same thing. . .</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>about Concussive and about the new agro reduction robe..  or even spell procs</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>now the spell will work..  but prob only on the target and not all the ones being atacked</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>but they both say the "target"  get reduction and not the encounter.. so sounds like single target</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>it is a bummer about the aoe pet... and agro. . it realy was a great spell before.. </DIV>

<DIV>Concussion has never worked on AE targets. Warlocks have brought up the discussion before.</DIV>

<DIV>it HAS worked before, when it first came out i did extensive testing with it on AoE fights and it 100% without a doubt proc'd on an aoe, it was like this for a while then poof a LU came in where they changed it</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

Why do you say it only works on one target? It lasts for 10 seconds and procs on every offensive spell.

<DIV>they changed it a bit ago so that it wouldnt work on an aoe spell, they fixed a lot of combat arts and spells that worked like that i believe due to being unbalanced</DIV> <DIV>could be wrong but thats how i remember it</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
