Hate Reducing comparison.

[Grima]

<DIV>Is it just me or is the fact that the halfling lvl 18 racial trait has anywhere from a 2.5-4x hate reducing effect as our Surveil (I think lvl 42 ability)?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The hate reducing number on Distracting Hoax, which is a teens, yes level 16 or whatever the first racial option is at, is 599 reduction.  There is no range, its 599 everytime.  Also, it seems to work instantly about 30% of the time, and noticeably 50% of the time.  There are a few times where the agro is simply stuck on you, but at least there is a decent % of success, unlike are other hate reducers.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Surveil.  Don't quote my numbers, but has a range of 160-250 or so at Adept I.  We all know how ineffective our hate reducing arts are as it stands, but this is rediculous.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Granted, the Distracting Hoax is on a 30 minute timer, but the comparison alone exemplifies how bad our hate reducers at 20+ are.  Also, the Distracting Hoax is an apprentice II, like any other racial trait.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thoughts on this in general?</DIV> <P>Message Edited by Grimaxe on <SPAN class=date_text>04-15-2005</SPAN> <SPAN class=time_text>10:38 AM</SPAN></P><p>Message Edited by Grimaxe on <span class=date_text>04-15-2005</span> <span class=time_text>10:39 AM</span>

Ratonga have one called Pitiful Plea, if I remember correctly, it reduces hate by over 650, but I haven't checked it lately to see if it scales with level (didn't choose this until my last trait choice anyhow).

Halfing assassins represent! <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> anyway.. Every race has their own ability like this, You can pick it up whenever you start gaining racial traits. I do remember reading somewhere that Evade is going to be scaled properly as we leveld up in an update. I think once they fix that between it and surveil we should be ok with dropping agro. It was in some tset update post.. ill see if i can hunt it down. <div></div>

The scaling fix for Evade is in the current test server patch notes.  Hopefully, we'll get that fixed in the next big update, and I can finally use that copper cluster.
