You know Borella, usually when someones married to another person...

They at least spell their name right ;)


Rella's lazier than hell, and the odds of Mili getting miffed about him spelling her name wrong are less than non-existant. Probably why he didn't bother to do it. :P

And yes, S/R and R/S don't have to worry about aggro unless they're going solo. Bakken, if we put Rec X in, there'd be almost no point in having a tank around. Believe me, they tend to get upset when the dps (or healers) start trying to do their job for them. The whole point of an MMO is to play the game with other people. Sure, you can solo some content- but learning to work within a guild/group is part of the challenge, and most of the fun. Managing your aggro is part of that, in addition to learning what skills and pots are best in your rotations. If you're annoyed you can't spam an easy button to blaze through the game, maybe you should consider another form of entertainment.

it's rather quite the opposite, the big thing about this game that pisses me off is it's always just 1 button spam with occasional variable skills in pve.

I prefer collision combat games like darkfall and dragon nest over this any day where skill not GEAR matters, but my friends and family are here so yeah...


REGARDLESS hatred X was basically released and it's not really fair that recon isn't, that's all this thread is about and I don't see why 1 is ok but the other isn't.

There is a difference. Hatred X doesn't mean the tank never has to worry about aggro management. Recon X DOES mean that a dps no longer has to care about their aggro. Anyone with two weapons will be able to have negative aggro with ease.

Negative aggro shouldn't ever happen in this game. (Yes.. that includes S/R and R/S.. but that's Runewakers fault for making it possible)

i was going to write "the problem is about how these runes actually work. learn math" but Borella was faster and nicer :D

But unlike the Iceblade whine thread this is probably an endless discussion.

"Its P2W already, so give something to P for so i can W, dammit, i dont care about super-easy mode"
vs
"Its gonna be even more boring than it is now and its sure as hell not good for the game"
"Learn that being #2 on the threatmeter does NOT mean you should aim for #1 - unless you are the tank"

etc. both more or less understandable , but the balancing problem with the runes is that they HAVE to exist at all. Its not like giving the tank time to build up aggro (when hes using no hatred and DPS are using no recon) is viable anymore in any current instance ... atleast not the time that would be needed in that case. Ofc otoh a tank could double its patt , but then its not a tank anymore just a crap-DPS that happens to have Enhanced Armor because of all the survivability that would be lost.
