I used to feel the same about reinforcement being primarily a rescue tool. For memwipe mobs yes ofcourse but for everything else reinforcement coupled with 100% haste on a 1delay weapon witha cacaphony of blades is just nuts. Especially when you consider that hate buffs increase that threat component to [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] near 1k. As an example I can easily hold a mob from 30k raid dps without a buckler. I'd rather never lose a mob than lose it even once as that risks frontals and deaths on fights where either is not a good thing.
Did you spec away from buckler, Saracen?

Yep. I've switched back and forth a few times now, going to buckler mainly because i was losing aggro when raid dps was reaching the high 20ks which made me feel like I was a crappy tank and then switching back whenever I could feel the extra damage i was recieving by using the buckler. Using reinforcement now as a regular as possible has solved my threat generation permanently. It could be argued buckler is better for memwiping mobs but the only one i have issues with is tarinax and i find that the extra ripostes arent worth it all especially since it seems once it faces me i cant hit the [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn] thing at all! its possible to just use taunts and not even auto attack tarinax when he is facing you to save up every valuable noncrushing skill for the third and forth memwipes

Thanks for the reply SMILEYHow are you specced atm?I thought about leaving WIS 4,4,8,8 and going back to STR 4,5,8,8. But the INT line looks kinda nice too, although I never tried it out myself.
