Subject: RE: Reduced Taunt?


Hmmm, that is awfully similar to my near death last nite. A Paladin and his
buddy were killing a DE Dragoon when my partner and I stopped nearby. I was
wounded and singing hymn. The Dragoon was too far away normally to be in
range, but if they increased the radius of Hymn accidentally the Paladin
would have probably been in range. The song wouldn't have affected him, but
I think the taunt is already broken so that it still works like the whole
song did back in beta when you didn't need to be grouped to get the effects.
One pulse combined with my being hurt was enough to cause the Dragoon to
ignore a Paladin that had done over 500 pts to it to rush over and try to
whack me. Fortunately I was able to zone. My buddy just stood there and
watched. even though he was hurt as well the Dragoon never even looked at
him, just went right back to the Paladin. Got a tell a few minutes later
from the Paladin asking me how the hell I got such a good taunt off on the
dragoon. He wanted to know if I'd tell him how so he could use it since his
own taunt sucked. I told yeh no problem, just be a bard. That made him
laugh, he hadn't seen my song pulse so he didn't know.

From: Mike.Langlois@...



Had one of those weird AE Taunt things last night. Anyone else getting
these
since the Reduced Bard Hate patch?

Ran out of lavastorm with 50 health. Couldn't even see a pixel on my health
bar. Entered Nek and fired up the Hymn.

Two players are killing a DE guard 30 feet from me, on the path. Guard
spins
around, runs down the path, across the zone entrance alcove,
and cuts my head off.

I'm not grouped. I'm not anywhere near the guard. I've been in the zone
exactly 15 seconds, and I manage to taunt a half dead guard away
from the 2 guys who are killing it.

Suck. If this is reduced, maybe I should be grateful for the 15 seconds I
had
before I was killed.
