In love with the new Hold the Line type skills.

<DIV>I love that they updated this skill finally. Even at level 49 I still used the low level version of it sometimes if I was low on power and wanted just a little more aggro on me.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>The new skill Maddening Defense looks pretty awesome. I even trained it to Master II because it has a chance to produce something like 300 aggro each time I'm hit. And hell EVERYTHING hits me now so think of the possibilities.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>After Respecing and playing some yesterday I do wish I would have choosen some stuff different. So maybe in about a month they will give us that option.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>All in all I think Guardians still will be workable. Once we all get over the re-learning curve that they threw at us.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<P>Maddening Defense is my new favorite ability. Once you establish initial aggro, pop that bad boy on and you'll never think about the two other taunts you used to have. In playing with it last night, between the stances and that, I'm finding the changes a pleasure.</P> <P>Oh, and you'll get a chance to respec next week, when they remove the bonus xp.</P>

<DIV>Now that makes me happy. I really think that was the way to let us respec. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was most upset about the respecing new skills last night as I occasionally grumbled at my computer doing it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Along the lines of. "How the hell do I know what Skills to train to Master II." and "Stupid Sony, Give me more details about each skill.)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I know Sony gives us a ton of info now about the skills, but it never seems like it's what I want to know about the skill. I don't see where they let us know what ones take concentrations slots now or anything.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>Humm, yep was smart enough to get it. Like I said in the very first part of this post. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
