Voke isn't broken, people just can't contemplate how it works now because there either very very slow or honestly confused.

Before patch 1.18 Voke was used as a primary methord for getting hate, now its simply a support. Voke ALONE (no matter how many times you rage spam it) will never get you the hate. you need to mix it with Damage like Heavy Stab, and other abilities, war drums and circle slash.

If you use voke to compliment the attacks and skills needed, you'll have no problem keeping hate.

DD's and such need to also learn how to control their damage as well and healers and such the same.

*GASP* You mean there's no longer one MAGIC button we can press to keep hate! You mean battles from here on will require effort and strategy and...gasp....PLANNING! Well that's it this game sucks I'm taking my ball and going home! *sarcasm*
