Hmm
Maybe they did lower our agg to mobs. I used to get the crap beat out of me
when I used Dirge. Up till this I figured the 'lower taunt' everyone was
debating was just a pigment (I mean figment) of our imaginations. Dirge
used to have a pretty decent taunt factor. If it's taunt factor is gone
then it really is utterly useless now.
