2 Questions

1. For as long as I've been playing a Seeker/Mystic, I have been noticed the fact that the EARTHGUARD classes have no Earth Affiniated skills.. We're only have Wood/Fire(Mystic's Cragglord) /Metal skills.

2. For the Seeker specialists out there:
Battousai.
-Deals base physical damage along with XXXX.X of your base physical damage as Metal Damage.
Increases your Threat Level<--(What is that supposed to mean?)
*Don't all damage-inducing, debuffing and healing skills attract aggro?
*If Battousai really increases your threat level, how does it "work"?

    1. Blame the devs or the localization team. Either or. b:laugh

    2. It's like flesh ream in a sense. You get far more aggro from the skill than its damage alone would indicate. However in this day and age, you likely won't be attempting to use it to tank so the threat it generates is a moot point.

    It increases your agro beyond the damage it does. You really have to spam it to notice a difference. In no way is it comparable to the effectiveness of Barb agro taking skills. I use it as my first shot when I'm tanking tho in the hopes that it will keep the boss on me while I'm debuffing.

    If you're looking for an aggro skill for us seekers, we got blood-thirsty blitz.
    Its comparable to a fresh realm but with AOE. really comes in handy in BH's or warsong or delta.

    However, I've found that Battousai+Blood Thirty Blitz+Battuosai right next to eachother takes aggro from ANYTHING and I mean ANYTHING. I don't deal that much damage (Im a seeker, who NEVER sparks, there's just so many other things I can do) but I COMBO and debuff to help kill the boss faster, however this causes the sins who are now hitting so hard to pull more aggro, however these poor daggerfish are squishy, now I'm a stout young man who can take a lot of damage, but I don't get the opportunity! But after that combo, Ill sit there continuing to spam battousai, staggering, rock splitting, battousai repeat and I'll keep aggro from Adversity daggerfish for 2 sparks AT LEAST
