Hawku Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) Many haven't noticed that threat isn't on the skills description anymore, to activate threat you'll have to press 1 and RMB. The question here is, why would they change it? when it was perfect as it was before... i find it really annoying to remember checking your buff bar to see if you forgot to activate it again many times while tanking. Why would they modify that when your threat was part of your rotation instead of doing 1 RMB, i know maybe a KFM wouln'd mind that much about that change or warden too, but as a BM it's really annoying to go from your dragon tongue stance, to pressing 1 RMB and then go back to dragon tongue stance again and things like that can make your dps drop maybe not a lot but still even 1 second here feels like an eternity to hold dps... i don't know who came with that idea, but that person obviously doesn't even play this game to make that desition. Would like to know your thoughts on this, do you like it or hate? i really wish they change it back. Edited March 17, 2019 by Hawku 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakuzan Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I hate the new threat (Warcry) as much as the next guy, but not for the same reason as (apparently) everyone I dont mind pressing Block + Whateverbutton (it's not the same for all classes) because i can do it at the start of the fight, and lasts for 3 minutes, and in that time, i'll probably have to block another kind of attack OR use HM Block, or anything, so, i'd have to drop my stance (it's even less of a problem as Warden) What i dont like is that i feels weak as ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ~ i find myself losing aggro plenty of times now, which rarely happened before, it's supposed to be 200% i think? but feels like it's waaaay less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakuu91 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Like Bakuzan said...when you block mid fight, you might as well activate Warcry again. Yes its annoying but better to keep aggro and not ruin fight half way through. The sacrafices we make as tanks....xD And its 250% threat i believe.

Because we don't have threat on l. draw, comet strike, warden rmb... those things counted as 3x dmg that stacked well with threat buff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoraTokonome Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 (edited) biggest flaw for Bns to release to Blade Master i posted a similar thread with other info under Classes Blade Master section just hold off until 3rd path, and we bm can go F 1st & 2nd path until then, its 'hard mode' for us Edited March 17, 2019 by SoraTokonome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arohk Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) i now play with 10 points in aggro because i keep forgetting to activate it. Can we please have a passive thread skill again? here is an idea: Block+RMB = aggro on (lasts for ever) Block+RMB again= aggro off. the reason why it feels weak to the warden above is because your skills like Sever don't generate tripple aggro animore in addition to the old 200% buff (which made you generate 600% aggro on some skills) Edited March 18, 2019 by Arohk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryunosuke Takahashi Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 On my warden and blade master I use 25 points in threat for 600% base + the new skill and have no issues what so ever in holding threat for the entire fights. Sure, my DPS lacks a little bit, but the pride as a tank is to keep the boss on you no matter what so your party can do their roles/jobs and damage.

Xiia Qingyue Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 the biggest problem for bm isnt reactivating threat but that you cant ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ing do 1+rmb+f filler rotation anymore (to reduce tab cd for 3 sec) which basically ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤s your rotation completely (you have to either e+rmb+f which can put party in a bad spot or use lmb instead of rmb which is rng cuz no crit no F) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, I wouldn't call that rotation ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ed, just because from time to time you have to throw in an extra-RMB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
