Aggression skill and you

[Windowlicker]

<DIV>Next live update:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG>-  Aggression skill now affects the resistability of Taunting</STRONG></DIV> <P><STRONG>* Warlock: Spellbinding Pact: Increases Aggression skill.</STRONG></P> <P><STRONG></STRONG> </P> <P>So, in a roundabout way we're receiving a taunt buff? </P> <P> </P> <DIV><BR></DIV>

<DIV>Probably not, all that will happen is Agression will be added to the buff that adds distruption, ordination etc...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But yeah it means tanks taunts will be resisted less with a Warlock in group..... if it works that is, I never see a difference in resists with that buff up or down.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>A single group doesn't need to worry about spell resistances as a raid would, so it seems to me that it is meant for raiding. It's a nice addition to our utility, along with vacuous, but we are still far from idea in a MT group on a raid. </DIV>

<DIV>Anyplace there's a mob that cons above white this should be nice.</DIV>

Castle Mistmoore came to my mind when writing it, but including CMM, vaults, and nek3, there is little group content that cons higher than 70.  It would be useful to a group in those particular settings, but every raid zone would see it in use.<BR>

<P>Well thank you for giving us more utility. Although we have so little compared to every other mage class, this is a step in the right direction. Especially for single groups.</P> <P>giot</P>

[Gnomie]

<DIV>Well it is significant that we are the only class besides bards that can buff this skill. No other mages, priests can claim this. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> should be fun.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>giot</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>but yes our utility sucks. no FD, no evac, no shards/hearts, no coth. Basically we dps and die from AoE aggro. maybe this will help the tank keep it off us. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

Someone once told me "Ifyou ain't dyin', You ain't Tryin'"  I live by these words, the day SoE decided to give us more utility instead of increased single target damage, is the day I hang up my black and periwinkle hat for good and roll a healer.<div></div>
