New Thf Ability

[Covenant]

I'd just like to add...there's a reason scholar was given the "enmity" spells. They can manipulate gain or loss more easily then just giving thieves weird moves.

in what way is this move weird? it falls right in line with what thf does, which is hate manipulation. further more it gives us a small boost to our base attack power which is something alot of thf want, more dps. and even beyond that it gives a means to get hate off of us if we need to, again which alot of ppl want.

are you just against the fact that it's an aoe enmity steal? it's only 5-10% off anyone within range, which isn't alot, however collectively it adds up. this along with the attack power boost helps our tanking ability. for some reason you loose hate? SA, instant double enmity, albeit at the loss of the att buff. almost dead? TA nearest tank for double enmity on them, again at the loss of the att buff.

this is basically what all the thf have been asking for rolled into one. more hate control. more tanking ability. more dps. i see nothing weird or wrong with this at all.

I disagree completely.

Competent THFs are well-suited to serve both as enmity sinks and secondary tanks/DDs. With the upcoming adjustment to the effect range of Accomplice and Collaborator, THFs will have an even easier time draining accumulated enmity from mages. By conducting enmity, THFs can increase the stability of NM battles.

Few things are worse than uncontrolled, angry NMs nomming on panicked mages.

EDIT: And as a mage, I love Accomplice/Collaborator. Trust me, it's very noticeable when used, and I appreciate the extra breathing room in which to operate.

Agreed. I've always pictured (and played) THFs like the enmity-police...someone steps outta line with the the enimty (other that the tank). I take it away, and /slap them a warning in chat.

Though, if the direction SE is taking with THFs is enmity management, I'd be looking forward to seeing what they will add in future updates to augment that.
