Should Theives Guild...

<p>Be turned into a group buff?</p><p>In its current state...it just seems kinda...well... useless. Not to mention...who's to know what class should this be put on over others?</p>

No, that would be more of a slap in the face. They should, at the very least, make it castable across raids. Though I think they should change it into a hate transfer.

<p>Dirge is always my first choice, but yes, it's a very subpar level 80 class ability. <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/e78feac27fa924c4d0ad6cf5819f3554.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" /></p><p>I agree Varuna - Making it raid wide at the least, would be a little more useful.  A hate transfer would be amazingly awesome!</p>

I don't think hate transfer would be a good option...not that I wouldn't like a hate transfer, but it would be out of the boundaries of brigands...now making it raidwide is really needed...basicly outside of dirges and clerics it's of nearly totaly useless...and it's not nearly powerfull enough to make us grouped with them just for that reason.Another possibility would be to make it possible to cast it on ourselves with 1/4th of it's normal efficiency...it would still make it better on dirges and clerics...but at least if we're not grouped with them we could cast it on ourselves and have a little effect.

I could see thieves guild being used on a warlock - they have a noxious debuff (their primary damage source) so that could be helpful.  Warlocks also have an AA to increase the amount debuffed by that spell line so not sure how the AA and thieves guild stack, but still.  I would assume that wizards have the equivalent for heat/cold but I don't know for sure.  (Of course with wizards and warlocks you have the issue of are they actually smart enough to use their debuffs).  Also SK's have a noxious debuff as part of their AoE taunt (don't know the exact numbers for a comparison).  I have a mystic and I know their str/sta debuff also debuffs heat,cold, poison and disease - so thats another option to help you get at least some value out of thieves guild.  I do agree the skill somehow seems a bit lame in its current form, but I hope this helps with getting SOME value from it.
