Hold the line and wound.

[Gr]

<DIV>Greetings,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was wondering if anyone could answer the following.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>When I use wound on a mob i have noticed that when the dot ticks I see an extra hit animation, If I activate Hold the line every hit i make will work as an encounter taunt. Will the ticks of wound act as a hit thus increasing the hate of the entire encounter towards me?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have read about assult being used in this way, each creature hit causes a taunt on the entire encounter, but its not the same as its an actual hit, not a dot effect.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If it works this way, i cant wait to get my next aoe as it has a nice crushing dot effect as well <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>- Croma</DIV>

<DIV>hi, ok this is how it works.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>wound</DIV> <DIV>wound is a dot dmg atk, this atk has an initial atk and then soon after a low dmg dot, followed by 2 high dmg dots, at lvl 19 my dot did initialy 17 dmg then 16 dot dmg, followed by 2 42 dot dmg atks, and when ever you do dmg to a monster your hate moves up the hate chart, just like a regen spell moves the healers hate up the hate chart. So yes it does give hate to you.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>hold the line</DIV> <DIV>hold the line immobilizes the user of the spell and greatly increases the hate generated at him with the entire mob.  From what i seen the spell basically anger everytime the enemy hits you, not to sure about anger, its either anger or shout, anyway, when they hit you they hate you more, i really like the hate generator, it works extremly well on big mobs.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>ok assualt is an aoe slash atk, so like i said before if you hit them they hate you, so yes this can be used the same way as shout but only in the aoe area, becarful with this atk i've pulled 2 group mobs before :womansad: i don't like this aoe mainly because it is a very slow atk, but i really love wound it did 117 dmg at lvl 19 very nice and hold the line the healers really love that spell lol. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>so that is my opinon and my experience, good luck with guardian and happy hunting</DIV>

<DIV>Actually,</DIV> <DIV>           Hold the line increases your aggro with the entire encounter everytime you hit a mob. It would be nice if it stacked with our dot dmg and gave us more hate with each tick but from what I have seen they dont work like that. Only the initial atk of wound will generate aggro from hold the line, the ticks afterward generate decent aggro by themselves but they dont activate hold the line.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Thanks,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I guess the extra attack animation is just that, an animation.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV><p>Message Edited by Grum on <span class=date_text>11-29-2004</span> <span class=time_text>01:34 AM</span>
