Anyone else noticed a decrease in aggro with SK?

Where's the classic justification for nerfing bard aggro generation?

Rogean: Bards are now capped at 140 aggro per song/spell/proc in all circumstances.

I have been waiting for the above change since the clickie/aggro nerfs research was accepted. The issue is the numbers don't appear to align with the accepted research.

"Non-damaging detrimental bard song hate seems to be capped 40 on level 20+ NPCs."
"The bard cap of 40 also applies to clickable items."

Was that a typo in the patch notes? Or is there new source material we need to look at?

That is really helpful, thank you for link. Now just hope they don't nerf the swing agro bonus for offhand weps lol

I'm also curious

Does Titanium have LDoN in it? I remember an agro nerf to spells that was enemy level dependent vs the level of the spell learned in it.

Like Paladin Stun(30) and Holy Might(49) was not affect.. effective at level 60/65. There were also way later spells called Cease(9) and Desist(15) for paladin stuns that were shit for agro past a certain level.

That kinda stuff would be calculated server side so the client used oughtn't make a difference. I imagine.

Where are these "OPTIONAL" Files to increase FPS. I don't see them in the zip file anywhere.

This is nuts. 55 necro passing through checking on a camp. Was camped by a small group. I go to log out not even buffing them or anything. Sitting agro being 20 levels higher than the NPC overpowered a disease cloud and whatever that blue sparkle thing is shadowknights have.

Hearts out to non-war or poor-war tanks when the new server hits.
