Divine Seal generating hate/enmity on its own

Why are you using that when they're pulling in the first place? Is everyone's hp that low? I never use DS in the beginning before. Just when stuff is going to hit the bloody fan or the tanks hp is just draining away in fights.

Even during fights I never pull or have agro points build up.

I always start with Divine Seal + Regen (after the pull) because that is a very potent heal that lasts long enough for me get off 4 or 5 Stone II's or couple of Holy's and help with dps. Then I reapply a regular regen and throw a couple of cure's and apply some DoTs while I wait for DS to cooldown.

That aside, I am unsure if its even intended to have happened that way the OP stated. Bug? Because as he said it is a passive non-targetted self buff. I haven't ever noticed this however. Maybe its different for this boss? The entire Coils? Idk.

Casting a spell - regardless what that spell is - once you are in combat causes the mobs in combat with you to "notice" you (i.e. gives you threat).

This has been the same in every major MMO I've ever played in, including Rift, SWTOR, WoW, and even Neverwinter.

Beneficial spells do build threat with a boss, and if your tank has not actually touched the mob he was pulling, you'll immediately rise to just above his threat because your spell is treated as "actual" threat, whereas a taunt (which in this game has no fixate attached) just gives the tank 1 point of initial threat (when no one else has done anything).

Get instant aggro and die

Anyone else noticed this?

I can do you one better. I've pulled hate at the start of a fight by turning on Cleric Stance.
