I love Ruse. I'm level 27 ATM, and have soloed the entire way...kids/ dog/ wife aggro/ etc and was wondering how/ when I would use Ruse in a grp.My job is to NOT have aggro, but Ruse only works when I get hit. So do ya'll simply use it when you "accidentally" draw aggro, or is really useless in grping situations?

<div>Yes sometimes I'll "accidentally" aggro a mob by "accidentally" taunting it or begging for mercy on the tank (oops) then Ruse and lie low to give aggro back.. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></div>

Ruse is "suposed" to be used in a group.Another reason why everyone should roll rangers. There.<div></div>

<div>Well, since the test server has ruse changed to only go off on melee damage now, it definitely lost some usage in many situations. I typically used it anytime I had agro from any mob in an encounter. They never even fixed the agro change it was supposed to induce, like they promised, but they sure had time to nerf it from working against a caster.</div>

I always though the Rangers were making it up. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<div></div>I use the Ruse line when I duo or small group without a tank. My favorite Duo is with a plate healer and we trade aggro back and forth constantly. I whack on the mob from the front until the healer steals aggro with big heals, which let's me whack it even harder in the back to get aggro back onto myself.
