def stance

[Tenka]

<p>needs a hate mod.  for real.  also i like the idea of crit taunts and double taunts. </p>

<p>Definately needs something. Defensive stance is pretty horrible for truly keeping aggro for the more offensive based classes, melee hit rates are bad enough in offensive stance and even worse in defensive especially since the devs have decided to give heroic mobs some uncontested avoidance in TSO.</p>

<p>I can count on one hand the # of times ive used Def stance in the last year......and most of those times it was the level 30ish one.</p>

<p>because it sucks right ?  they made this game such a huge dps race it's ridonkulous.  got healers parsing 6k+.  nice.  devs need to put some effort into making this game about more than the parse.  sick of that word tbh.  i think aggro mod on def stance, and items with +hate would be a great start.  dunno about crusaders.  maybe just leave them be.  been back long enough to come to the conclusion that they are easy mode.</p>

<p>Agree something  has to happen with the defensive stance, if I swap to it my hit rate dies and I have no chance to keep aggro..</p><p>If its increased hit rate, or hate mods I do not know, but to make it a viable option on our hotbarsd, it really need a change..</p>

<p>Def stance sucks because it is "outdated".  Its penalties greatly hurt aggro/DPS while its benifits mean nothing these days.</p>
