Begging skill

[Nagash]

I remember at the beginning of the game people claiming it could be used to slightly increase one's aggro. True or false? I suspect it is false and was prompted by the fact that some NPC could attack you on a failed begging attempt.

In 99/00 I had Begging maxed on my necro and it is completely useless I promise you. It really is a complete waste of time.

Its probably useless in p99. Its required on live for the Druid epic 1.5 (or 2.0) quest.

I remember sometimes the npc would just strait attack you after a few begs.

Begging is like disarm, it will put you on the agro list on a fail, but it doesn't cause any agro. So begging a random mob can get you killed. Might need to be a critical fail.

so the SK telling me to level begging on my warrior to help with threat was either trolling or misinformed?

I don't know much about begging but, on my lowbie rog when I get a total fail (unsuccessful pickpocket + the mob yelling "THIEF!!) I seem to go to the top of the mob's aggro list. Maybe they are similar?
