Haiii
I was just wondering if I could avoid to use Roar / Alpha male / anything in Delta / Gamma / Rebirth by simply make the Psy in squad use Soul of Vengeance on me
(A side note:I don't care if its Sage or not since invoke doesn't require any Mp).

    well, for that you should out-dd everyone. even at ~55k soulforce and demon sov that would be 6.6k dmg each time they hit you.

    i doubt that this would hold aggro by itself (but maybe compined with aoes; we are assuming a +12 weapon afterall)
    you only purge once #yopo

    Yes. I'm an RB addict, and have done it way back in the day pre-hyper noob as well, on both Barb and BM.

    Honestly old school tactics work fine for keeping it off a Cleric:

    Roar, Alpha Male
    Having the mobs sit on you while invoked, brambled/SoV, and AOEing.
    Arma while mobs are HFed.

    Good, experienced Barbs can pull it off well. I've noticed that Demon barbs do a way better job of aggro management than Sage. Coordinating with the BM helps too with stuns and Amra HFs works well. Barbs are the best for keeping stuff off the cleric initially.

    Keeping stuff off good OP DDs is kinda impossible without Arma HF.

    TBH I typically run partials/fulls without Barbs. Aggro management is done fine with a good set of DDers and a BM. I don't mind a Barb, its nice to be lazy and not have to pull. But as long as the Cleric has more than 5khp they usually don't tick much as the aggro is well managed between Alpha Male, stuns, and DD.

    it will work if u can get to the mob before the cleric does. if you are doing sp delta and mobs spawn behind the cleric and u are in front, obviously, the cleric will still have aggro until u manually attack the mobs. SoV cant help u there.
    the loser fail nab cleric from dreamweaver who quit pwi, but still wanders the forums.

    Yea...back spawns are the job of a sin, archer, veno, or psy...depending on your squad build...usually the sin.

    Sure it'd give you enough aggro to keep the cleric alive.

    But without mana, you couldn't do sht to keep the DD's alive. Which happends to be your job

    Invoke provokes enough aggro for the cleric to not get hit.

    SoV that isn't sage not only destroys your MP and thus your ability to control the situation, but it also stops SoV from working, since you have to have MP for it to deal damage.
