    You know, that brings up something I've been wondering about but haven't had a chance to test since I haven't had much time to play lately.

    In some situations, when you freeze a mob and it can't reach the person who has aggro, it will simply switch to a someone it can hit.

    In other situations, I've seen the mob freeze and just stand there, still facing the person who has aggro but is out of range (tracking him if he moves, so it's not stunned). For some reason, it doesn't switch targets to someone it can hit.

    I've been wondering what causes the two different behaviors. If you can reliably produce the second behavior, then great. Freeze away. But if the first behavior is the norm, then slow is better than freeze. You slow it, and it wastes time trying to reach the person with aggro, doing no damage meanwhile.

    I can always create the 2nd scenario with the cleric's silent seal provided someone range has the aggro. :D
    It switches aggro(usually, for me) if the melee out DDs any other ranged DDs.

    Maybe you might want to test it with a cleric since the frost scarab has a % to trigger
    Thanks Chillum for the nice Sig.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]

    I do use tiger maw with my stun lock from aeolian blade and roar of the pride. I stated that already right? I also use ocean's edge with stun lock.

    AOE stun lock is kinda random with fan of the flames and drake sweep.

    Frost arrow in PVP stupid... hmmm... do you know what kiting is bro? b:chuckle

    knockback arrow is just damage in pvp from what I remembered...


    Most importantly, I like leveling everything

    VIT > STR > DEX > MAG... GG

    Purely trying to gain chi, a macro for all our chi-gaining attacks takes several seconds to run, and only gains about 60 chi. (And after using it they're all stuck in cooldown) Compared to a fist-user we're really quite slow. We do gain pretty fast when in fox form, I'll grant.

    And in a normal situation, I'm using ironwood heavily (costs 20 chi) and often the 79 skills which cost 30 chi.
    I can actually run out, if I try, even if I'm not using lending hand.


    And mm, demon frost is actually quite good. Stop in place is much better than slow. It's one of the arguments for going demon. But it's still not reliable.
    i think its like 25 and 20 chi
