Tranquil Blessing

<DIV>Can an experienced Monk tell me what this does exactly? The description seems a little confusing.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Should I use this instead of Intervene (those last two concentration costs when other 3 used on either Thundering Fists or Brawlers stance, depending on whether tanking for group or solo / DPS modes ;p)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In general - where is a good write up of our skills with more comments than just the Sony descrip?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks for your thoughts,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Zooce</DIV> <DIV>21st Kata Monk</DIV> <DIV>Splitpaw</DIV> <DIV>Forlorn Hope</DIV><p>Message Edited by Zooce on <span class=date_text>05-31-2005</span> <span class=time_text>07:42 AM</span>

Recently I observed adept1 at level 36 the modifier says Increase Hate Gain by 1%.  My guess is that this is a buff you'd put on someone to gain hate.  At 0% I thought it might be a way to multiply all hate you gain by 0% but that seemed overpowering.  I haven't used it very much at all to be honest, but if theres a hate gain bonus on it, I would definitely put it on the tank of the group and I BELIEVE you can put it on yourself as well to obviously help you hold hate when you tank.  I'm curious to see if it scales at adept3, but at adept1 being only 1% I don't think it would be worth a rare to make it a whole 2 or 3% until later on when you would want to maximize hate gain.  5% hate gain would be enough to warrant my interest though. <div></div>

This spell freaking rocks.  Tranquil blessing is a HUGE agro debuff.  The verbal description is accurte, it decreases the hate gain of the target its put on.  However the part at the bottom that says "Increases hate gain of target by 0%" is 100% innacurate. On raids i will throw tranquil blessing on an assassin or an enchanter whos power taping.  This spell makes them agro WORLDS less.  One time while tanking, throw it on a warlock whos agroing to much....they will prolly have to full out mana blow to get agro again. PS, as a side note for people who might mention stuff about concentration.  Our stances are useless on raids.  No ifs ands or butts. Spider stance-15 defense 10-15% haste ....haste doesnt stack with our Enduring Fire line Winding dragon - 12 defense , -10 weapon skill, +5% dps modifier.  (dps mod doesnt stack with 10% mod from quiet purity, and the -10weapon skill cancles out the +10 from quiet purity, and on raids, the hgher ur weapon skill the higher ur hit % ) Dragon stance - +10 weapon skill (doesnt stack with quiet purity) So , personaly on raids, i dont use any stances since 1) theres never a mob that needs a monk tank, 2) NONE of our stances do a single thing to increase dps 3) the ability for an assassin or warlock to go all out dps without fear of agro, is HUGE.  280dps vs 180. As for Sacrifice/intervene....totaly useless on raids, mobs that hit for 3k are bad news.  PLus u have to be right next to the person its on. Up till ur 44, sweeping crane + tranquil blessing are a great combo for tanking.  Then use spider stance for tanking.  If your dpsing in a  group, id recomend not using any stance, and agro debuff who evers agroing the most, if anyone. <div></div>
