Death_Before_PL

Does extra dmg res, like orange insps, or a patron pool +res toggle, take effect before or after dmg has already been split up between the MM and his pets? I'm wondering if this will only help the MM, or if it will in effect "stack" with bg mode itself.

Provoke is a must-have for my MMs. Fully slotted it is accurate, lasts several seconds, and recharges quickly for stacking or pulling more groups. My MMs are tanks relying on bodyguard mode, and if I want to do this on higher than the lowest diff, two things are needed: I need to keep the agro, for evenly distributed dmg, and I need an aoe heal.

It works like a charm for me. Dunno what some of these guys are talking about with "it's not a taunt." And yes Kenji I can stand back and spam and keep the agro.

Good post OP but you really should include another myth:

Myth: Gauntlet is enough to hold the agro

No, tanks don't have to take taunt itself to keep agro. But I don't know where so many new tanks seem to have gotten the idea that they will hold the agro from the rest of their team purely with the gauntlet from their attacks. Gauntlet alone is not enough.

Just when you thought the forumite e-drama was about as pathetic as it could be, now we've got a whinefest because somebody spent 60 seconds pasting coh.com art on a myspace page. Thanks for the reminder of why I stopped posting here.

Thank you sirs for the nice myspace page. You are on my top 8. Now what else would be nice is a CoX layout for me to put on my page so I may help advertise this awesome game even more.
