Had a swashy today pull aggro off of MT and me (secondary tank) all [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] day. why not just become tanks, you got the dps and taunt anyhow. <div></div>

<div></div>That's the direction SoE seems to be going in. Just need to take dual weild away completely and give us plate <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Trouble is this last update made it so there is no way for us to generate less agro in a raid- can't transfer out of group (since the skill has been in) now we can't put it on a pet. Add in the lower proc rate on our passives, unless every other skill you use is an active evade or shadow slip, we can't do dps.<div></div><p>Message Edited by the fluke on <span class=date_text>12-30-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:30 PM</span>

actually, since the last update, next to warlocks we have the best "rescue" in the game all i have to do is pop off about 3 CA's and i can do 3 things 1) make both the MT and MH crap their pants 2) [Removed for Content] the MT and the MH off 3) waste gold on item repairs... and i dont even actually have to use my tuant (which for some reason has a debuff to it as well) /sigh o well maybe next update we will get a heal and i can play dps, tank, and healer all in the same group, now thats utility. of course they would then nerf that b/c it would be unfair so they would take away our dps to "balance" us out <div></div>

<P>the main reason i have avoid censure at master 1 and elude at ad3. I pump my elude ability both in raids and single grps. Despite the nerf avoid censure still makes a huge differance. to the OP did the swash in your grp have the hate transfer on a tank?</P> <P> </P> <P> </P>

Granted my midget is only 44, but if I get agro when I have my hate transfer on the MA, I just hit Slip and Lie Low and 90% of the time, I lose agro instantly.

I almost never pull agro on raids. That is what Rangers are for. <div></div>
