<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: verdana,geneva;">I guess we'll need to see how things roll out with the update, but I have a concern regarding hate management on fighter's that are DPS'ing in a raid.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: verdana,geneva;">In theory these changes will allow for situations where a fighter may be present on a raid for DPS purposes, and so will be in offensive stance the entire time.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;">These test notes:</span><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><em>General</em></span></span></p><ul><li><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Fighter offensive spells will no longer let you apply threat or hate position gains.</span></span></li></ul><p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">Indicate that fighter's own abilities will not let them boost threat through hate gain or position gain, but it also looks like we won't have any method of reducing the hate that they are generating - and neither will they.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">It probably won't impact the high-end raiding at all, they won't have fighters in DPS roles anyways. For lower-end raiding though, what do you do to control the hate of a fighter in a DPS capacity? Troub group buff is if-not-fighter, coercer single target detaunt is if-not-fighter, etc. Fighters won't have ways to lower hate the way scouts have.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">This may turn out to be a non-issue, a weak tank may be able to hold aggro in defensive over the best parsing offensive tank. I just hope it all went into consideration.</span></span></span></p>
