Trouble Pulling After Last Update?

[Aquastone]

<DIV>Checking to see if this isn't just my imagination....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I recently played my 70 pally in two zones, HoF and Bloodscale Sepulcher.  In both cases I had to resort to either body pulling only or having a ranger pull for me.  My taunts and other ranged spells seemed to draw aggro from untargeted mobs that I considered out of range (at least in the past).  I.e untargeted mobs were far more sensitive to taunts, etc than they have been.  In these two zones, I would pull entire rooms on occassion.  Needless to say the group wiped.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>In hof, I couldn't even body pull in some cases without drawing aggro from untargeted mobs.  Hence the ranger pulling.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I do have a 4 skill on the hate AA ( 5% additionla hate I think) and I would put amends or my biggest hate generator. But, I really haven't changed a thing.  I have also been in these zones several times before, and no problem.   I hadn't logged in about a week, so I am wondering if an update caused this problem.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Has anybody else experienced these problems?  Any work-arounds?</DIV>

<P>Thanks, I'm familar with Social aggro and how it works.</P> <P> </P> <P>My real question is has the Social aggro been made more sensitive recently?  I.e is the range at which you will draw social aggro closer now?</P>

You would have realized that the answer to this question would have already been answered for you. Personally I think the changes are down right stupid. Did mobs need to be more of a challenge to pull, yes. But right now there is simply no way for a tank with any skill on pulling to be able to pull efficently and without pulling the whole room. 1) They created the zones with mobs to closely put together then change social aggro so that no matter what spell or body pulling we do we are still not guaranteed the pull we intended to pull, perhaps that is the way it was intended I guess.. Who knows what SOE does/thinks anymore. Does it add more challenge yea but most times the changes were not well thoughtout or tested enough (if at all).<p>Message Edited by Knesh on <span class=date_text>07-03-2006</span> <span class=time_text>08:19 AM</span>

Yeah, I didn't mean it to come off pricky or anything....but a quick forum search would have showed you that after the last Live Update, Social Aggro is a bit more challenging.  Not saying it was a good or bad change (it's personal preference imo), but there are a ton of posts about it.<div></div>
