Power Issues

ServalC · 10-16-2005, 06:45 PM

I posted a similar message on the "Warrior" boards also. I'm a 18 Warr atm, my main is a 50 Inq. so I'm use to the healing side of the game. I am having problems keeping enough Power to be able to taunt, etc till end of fight when in grps fighting grpd mobs. I use HO's/Taunts and my power will drain to nothing like half way thru fight. Should I be just Taunting and not use HO's?

My power atm is 464, but I can buy new equipt. to boost that up. Again i just returned to this alt (been using him as a mule). Also is it typical at this lvl to lose aggro alot? I know since revamp that all classes now have to work on aggro (meaning classes that can grab aggro need to be smarter). Any other tips/suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

Power is an issue at lower levels. Ease up on the combat abilities if you're chain pulling stuff, try to use only your most efficient attacks. Make sure you have good drink to keep power regen up. Strength is our power pool stat so if you can up that, do it. As for agro, make sure you're the one pulling. Hit the mob with a single target taunt before people start in on it, that seems to be key lately. Use Hold the Line for extra agro, it's very useful. Check broker for App 4/Adept I or higher for your taunts. If you're fighting stuff that doesnt require you to use a shield, go with a nice 2hander or dual wield set up, the increased DPS will help with agro a bit. Get up close to the mobs, proximity helps with agro. Cast stuff like "Rallying Cry" during the fight if needed instead of just before, it will give you a little more hate. Dont be shy to throw in an AE taunt on a single mob for extra hate, dont forget your taunt attacks like taunting blow. Hope that helps and good luck to ya SMILEY

i always find recently that i will lose agro unless i taunt and hit the mob, meaning i get alteast 1 hit, usually i area to make sure after taunting and dont have much problems losing agro. Althoguh ive noticed with dmg dealers (wizards etc) that if i only taunt a mob without hitting it, the wizards first hit will drag it straight to him and it can be a right pain to get it back off if at all. Dunno how much use that is, but just what ive found myself being in the role of MT pretty much all the time i play.
