Aggo of DOT is not equal to DD

[UsulDaNeriak]

as you know, the aggo reduce AA SCS doesnt work correctly. and we dont know exactly, if silent casting is bugged as well.

it just works on the 1st tick
it doesnt reduce dot crit aggo. btw, crit aggo is fully different comparing DD and DOT.

for nuker this is working perfectly. the aa reduces aggo and a crit doenst matter in terms of aggo, afaik. so actually, these are 2 different topics. but i guess we should combine it to 1 requirement.

the question is, if we really should ask for this? 3 reasons to vote NO, imho. but also a good one to vote YES.

I'm fine with it due to death peace. I don't care how much aggro I have now since its so easy to lose. Dread Pyre is a dream dps wise, also it has NO EQUAL aggro wise, slow and mez don't have shit on it.

somebody on eqnecro told me to learn better english, so perhaps an example helps.

nuker A

is nuking with all crits and foci for 20k. the aggo of the crit DOESNT matter and the base aggo of this nuke is even reduced by both aa available

dotter B

is stacking just a few dots, 2 of them are critting same tick, one for 1k and the other for 2k.
he gets sumoned. because dot crit DOES matter and the aggo reducing aa are just working accordingly on the 1st tick of a dot.


these AA are nuke only, obviously. designed by sony for nukers only.


well, you may think, that necs like to deal with aggo and control it, especially if soloing.
but if not? is it fair?

dmg is dmg, but DOT dmg is still discriminated by sony. isnt it? thats all about this poll.

sony is still not able to understand DOT dmg, or to deal with necromancers at all.

Your english is fine man and your doing a fine job. Its just the way the crowd over there is.

What moron told you to learn better English? Tell them to learn better manners! I hate when english speaking folks discriminate against non-native English speakers. At least you try to learn different languages, their dumbasses expect the whole world to conform to their laziness. If they can't show tolerance for your effort they need a kick in the nads.

Anyways, I'm not a big raider, but I don't have trouble managing my aggro. If folks think that DoT crit aggro is not addressed by SCS as is DD aggro, then it is a gamewide bug that affects other DoT casters as well and needs to be addressed as such, not by a class list.

Personally, I am fine with the way aggro is. With the new spells especially, I am used to casting Death Peace after just about every cast. I would worry that we would lose a little of our control over aggro by extending the AA to cover all tics. As it is, I know how to generate some quick aggro to get an add away from my group or whatever, and I also know that I can lose the aggro even faster. The initial tic "bug" is kind of nice at times...it gives us a chance to decide if we are going to sit and build some hate, or cast a quick death peace and lose it.

I do not understand the issue with dot crit vs dd crit agro really, nor can I think of a way to quantitatively measure this...
