Glad special skills<can i have it> hate skills, hate control

[syntaxlies]

I was in another thread about the new hate control icon and came up with a couple ideas that id like to get some opinions on.

With the new icon system being in place i thought it would be cool if when you got the hate up to red that your character would resonate a red aura.

Also while being in this red zone(ill call it) unlock special skills or WS that wouldn't be usable otherwise.

Please add your own ideas or just tell me you hate mine either is fine with me.

No Red Aura.

Max hate WSs would be cool. That could add some battle plans in the future with zergs and/or possible HNM fights...

Sounds like a plausible idea.

Yea could do without aura, but the hate WS moves i like the idea.

A special ability you can only do when in max hate, be it for mages, buffers, crowd controllers, Melee's, Tanks is a good idea. But it also presents the danger that if you are at max hate, that would increase it even more, making sure you are dead at the end of it ;p wonder how we would do to avoid that.

For mages a max hate move could possibly result in reducing hate. IT would serve as a special move and a way to remove hate. For pug or lancer perhaps a move that they can select someone to pass hate to while performing a special skill, these are off the top of my head so dont pick them apart too much.

My main class is glad i and i came up with the suggestion from a glad point of view.

It could be done MANY different ways, if passing max hate option is one case, I can see punishing barbs rotations coming into play for sure.

As an advocate of mage tanking, I would love to see these situations occur more.

I like the sound of hate ws's, its got me thinking they could also redo spinstroke so that rather than just having a damage bonus when using it whilst the mob is unengaged they could make it so that the less emnity you have the higher damage it does. Which could be usefull for regaining hate when your emnity has dropped off, or even for glads who wish/have to dd.

Glad Zerg? bouncing hate using spinstroke? Lol

I think more hate/aggro controls in general would be nice to have.

Definitely no on the red aura. Especially since, while soloing, you'd technically ALWAYS have the most hate, so you would ALWAYS be glowing red. Would be quite the eyesore running around seeing a bunch of evil super saiyans solo grinding mobs.

lol, im def outnumbered no the aura. I had pictured it as lasting a few seconds but I guess an effective tank will glow the entire battle. In conclusion, we will scrap the aura idea.
