Blinding Bash question

Paintball33 · 05-21-2005, 06:21 AM

ok, i was looking at my spells the other day and I see that blinding bash (and the rest linked to this, where u bash the enemy with the shield) does crushing damage. I also realized that it's a very low dmg amount. Is this because I don't have high enough crushing skill, because I havn't used a crush weapon for a long time, it's pretty low. If I get my crushing skill up, will the dmg this spell does go up? or is it more a move designed to get aggro and stun (which btw, the stun is hardly effective since it goes away as soon as u touch the enemy)?

This is a taunt not really a damage ability. Has a nice stun that works for the current pull group you have targeted. So nice to hit caster groups with. The pure hate this can do is very nice and can make keeping aggro a breeze when your the MT. So use it early in the fight. I usally use it as my frist move after the pull and then hit a group taunt so I don't get stunned while tring to get out that group taunt. Doing that I have maintained aggro with some very trigger happy mages in the group.

But don't use it if your not the MT in the group. As the off tank it can mess up the aggro management of the MT.
