    But back when it WAS still a knockback, I'd occasionally run into WHMs that would use it to push ranged enemies into the group. Loved them so much!

    As a tank, when I know ranged enemies are coming, I'll typically pull a bit further (rather than stop at the last cluster of mobs) so that the ranged mobs group up, and then pull the rest of the horde on top of them for aoes.

    And, inevitably when I do that, the AST will wind up dropping their Earthly Star or the NIN their Doton on the horde, rather than on the smaller cluster of ranged mobs, so when I double back I wind up pulling the horde out of it. *sigh*

    I used to do that as well, but it was a little finicky and that was about its only use outside of trolling your friends so I can't say I miss it that much. But now it's just... Kinda there?

    basically its just good for that one person (for whatever reasons) who runs the opposite direction of the group with a monster in tow. But other than that its a useless skill now.

    I was sad they removed the dmg on it.
