Bracer of the hidden

[falkun]

Buffing another player has always transferred aggro, are you trying to argue that its not classic?

You don't have to use it for pulling. I can use hymn, selos, or a myriad of other songs to do that instead. But those take 3seconds, Bracer is instant.

If it sounds like an exploit, looks like an exploit, but is classic, it probably isn't an exploit, right? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's sad that there's kind of min-max mentality about everything. I get the junk buffing. But to do this stuff for pulling seems incredibly necessary. As is the hostility towards people who disagree with it. :/

Why would it seem like an exploit? Buffing a puller with an NPC on them can be either beneficial or detrimental, like a cleric accidentally pulling agro while rebuffing. Seems to me like the devs chose to punish that cleric rather than make life a tiny bit harder for pullers and tanks.

EQ meta is centered around exploits, it's always been that way.

Good Lord, just because you didn't know about this in the year 2000 doesn't mean it wasn't used by others or that it isn't classic. I bet you WOULD have used it back then had you known.

actually it works poorly for junk buff mid-fight compared to shrunken goblin earring or jboots because you have to stop and target yourself. Casting it on others is where the real benefits come in as this allows say a monk to cast a buff on an incoming trainer and get on the aggro list of the incoming mobs so when the trainer FDs they aggro on the monk not your raid force. Bottom line, unless your in VP its not terribly useful

Nope, I never said it wasn't classic. I just don't understand the point of doing it when these things can be achieved without abusing the EQ Meta.
