    the stun draws alot of aggro, it's definitely not an ideal skill for GV (I've heard of people taking off their weapons and still holding aggro b/c of the stun). That said, out of pure boredom (I leveled 90-100 almost entirely off GV), I've completed runs without opening DB at all (all ultis).. so its not that big a deal. With the gear available today and a little common sense, it shouldn't be a problem finishing all your cultis even with sage DB. I still don't have the book.. because it is never in AH, but its still on my list for books I want to learn (I have everything except dragons breath and glacial embrace D:). It's not exactly our most used skill or anything.. sage version isn't great for GV, but any party booting you because you have it isn't worth going with anyway. People get so elitist when it comes for the classes in a gv squad.. its ridiculous. I've made it through GV with 5 man parties, often times without barbs, without bms.. hell I saw a video with like 5 wizards and a cleric (or 6 wizards.. I forget now) finish an entire gv.. the instance isn't as hard as people make it sound.

    Maybe back in the day yeah they wouldnt take you if you had sage DB, these days not many people are as picky about it. I've had sage DB for a while now and have no issue what so ever getting squads for GV. as for a seeker holding aggro over me nope wiz is still the aggro **** in the bunch the stun on DB resets the mobs to you regardless. Like one run I was on was me and the seeker a r8 seeker at that and he was trying his best to get aggro from me in vortex while spamming alpha every chance he got and didnt work so well for him xD

    If you can get the book do learn it, least in my exp in GV with sage DB have usually been good, there is always the odd barb who doesnt know how to play decently and even being unarmed can get u killed in those cases >.<

    I don't recommend to learn it until you have all your cultivation done. BH 100 till way 3 is not bad with sage DB, but another waves can be difficult.

    The squads I've been in lately end up letting my wiz tank (while i start swapping phys ornaments / vit equips on). I'm thinking that if I have to tank anyway, I may as well reduce some damage with stuns.

    Didn't learn DB yet, but it's rotting in bank.

    ^This happens to me all the time. I don't even have rank 8 (because of lvl req) and I'm holding aggro. If you get it, be prepared to tank everything. I suggest investing heavily into as much +phys def ornaments as you can and refining your gear to at least +4 or +5 for the extra HP.

    ^This is how I currently do it since I failed and got Sage DB.
