Paladin/SK aggro

[Kilmer]

Or lack thereof.

Knights sorely need 1handers with a big aggro proc with a really high proc rate (100-200%). I am finding myself absolutely unable to hold aggro against same-tier DPS. I, personally, would be willing to lose ALL damage capacity in trade for the ability to hold aggro.

Ok, let me check with your existing spells to create a real agro spell. Knights should'nt rely on weapon procs for agro.

It sucks when it gets to that point where you'll give up all of one thing in order to get another. Half of aggro is damage though, the other half is procs. There aren't any pally/sk 1handers post ToV, and the ToV one has a stun proc but no proc mod that I am aware of. I agree that the right path is to continue to give them 1handers that have very high proc mods, probably 150%-200% since one warrior aggro weapon is generally 100%, and also a good amount of damage as well.

Power to hybrids!

Edit: Hmm, let's see what you cook up Tyler : p

[Tyler]

How does that look like?

[Jeido]

Okay what about SK's? I know Sarcon also has the same issues that Kilmer does. Neither of them can really hold aggro against our DPS atm.

[Tyler]

Really? He should speak up

I already revamped lots of SK spells with the same pattern. Hm.

[Jeido]

He's been really busy this fall due to classes/teaching, but I know for a fact that I need to chain FD on Monkz when grouped with either of them.

About the weapons, even if you don't decide to go the aggro route with weapons then I think it might still be a good idea to add in some more 1handers. Maybe not in ST/PoF, because the 2.0 is fine for that, but PoAir would give them something new to look forward to : P. Plus, if there are 1handers then they can use shield block.

[Kilmer]

Aye, a knight being able to use a shield and therefore the Shield Block AAs that we purchase would indeed add something nice to the class. Knights will never tank as well as warrior, and they shouldn't, but I feel it should be a reasonable venture.

[Tyler]

Oki doki. Lets see what we have in stock.

Sks Legs fixed (had unknown effect!) but now share the same click as Paladin Version (of course with different name!).

Both castable from inventory.

Creating a new Weapon now for ST. There is already one in ToV iirc.
