Major Bug with Hate Meter

[Anastasie]

<p>I was testing out the hate meter and discovered that it only registers hate when you are meleeing the mob. When i rooted the mob and cast damage spells from range the hate meter dropped completely and showed no value. The target window also lost the red hate line.</p>

I would like a way to remove it from cluttering my screen.</p>

<p>Just type alt+T and it removes the meter. You still will get the red line in your target window, but only when meleeing. So casters are out of luck atm.</p>

<p>If the inherent hate mechanics are so inadequate, then the hate meter is going to be all but useless.  Only a small portion of players will even see a benefit from this.</p>

<p>The latest patch fixed the hate meter. It is now registering hate when casting from range. I only tested it solo - so it showed 100%.</p>
