burn fear

[presto2112]

seems like after the recent changes, fiery aura taunt is no longer making up for the fear in burn. i'm not holding aggro and mobs are running around all over the place and losing interest in me. my lore pets are getting wrecked super fast.

 

can anyone offer helpful advice or is this something i'm going to have to live with.

 

not the end of the world but would like to figure something out.

I guess my thing is I can not understand how the changes they did make to agro were a positive in any way that required them to be made. Which makes it feel like this was a specific move meant to curtail Burn specifically. I only have 2 other brutes 1 is Sav/WP (no damage aura) and one is Katana/Dark (has a damage aura) but both of those seem to be completely unaffected by the changes. I don't agro really any more or less, they don't run from me etc. However my spines/fire brute I drop a burn patch and the entire mob scatters. 

 

I have not had the chance to try this in a real heavy game play yet. And yes I do use my spines/fire brute in normal play missions. But it worries me because if I hit burn all the time and mobs scatter, they are leaving the range of any taunt aura and not being hit which means they are not gonna stay agro on me and perhaps find other squishier targets. 

 

I am with you kind of in that if this is the nature of farming now, frankly it doesn't break anything, it is still effective and eventually they all come back because I am the only target around. However if this change breaks the ability to manage agro with a fire/ tank or /fire brute then I have to say why was it changed? Seems like it really has no benefit and only served to break a powers use. 

 

If this is gonna hold as is, I say remove the fear in burn.

It's a bug with taunt auras with a tohit check;

Yeah I had noticed this, was kind of pain seeing people run all over the place but thankfully it's going to be fixed.
