beastlord aggro

[War2U]

Kowuf used to pull aggro off of Grimar all the time until I basically gave up on casting spells in its entirety, so I'm with you Kas

edit: give beastlords a splurt-type jolt over time

this would be money.

or roll some sort of -agro component into their dots / harsh winter line or something

Rage of the Wild could serve that purpose.
Nevertheless it's been a standard for a long time Beastlords don't get any aggro reduction. Instead of "doing less" toss a chloroblast here and there it won't build that much aggro.
Idk I just don't see the necessity, too bad if people don't wanna wait and go all out of dots & dd's.

If you want to up beastlord dps and give them agro reduction, give beasts a -aggro component to some existing dot/nuke.

If you want to keep their dps relatively the same, give beastlords a jolt spell that they would have to stop dpsing to cast. I don't see why beastlords shouldn't have to work to lower their aggro, since many other classes have to. For example, rangers/wizards have to interrupt their dps to jolt. Alternatively, just lower the damage of their spells and add a -aggro component.

Also, why can't style 4 be changed into a negative agro stance or something.

I don't think it should be part of beastlord class-play to be lazy.

The /s 4 idea is a good one I think.

So recap: is it possible to add -aggro to

1) the harsh winter line
2) rage of the wild
3) a new jolt-type spell
4) a new transfer aggro type spell
5) or /s 4

I like the (1) and (5) options best.

I agree with beastlords getting a form of negative aggro.

If you want to discuss mage aggro, make a separate thread, but from my experience they're fine as long as they know what they're doing.

If you completely ignore an entire type of spell yes (lol worthless dds)

But I digress. Beastlords generate a fairly impressive amount of aggro with just their melee. While this can come in handy from time to time, it would be nice to see the other bottom of the barrel class get some choices. I think as previously suggested some kind of jot would be best.
