    I am not using a parser. I've hunted for the link but failed to find it. It was stated by the dev team that any over time skills generate all enmity at the time of cast and not over the duration. I feel bad that I can't find the statement anywhere. Maybe I misread it in part as they were having a conversation on healing specifically. So maybe it only applies to heals over time. I'll keep hunting.

    Still not accurate, though, as any healer who's had regen last from one pull to the next can tell you.

    Doesn't matter if you can find the post or not, it's categorically false. The game does not behave that way, no matter what a Dev may or may not have said. Ticks generate aggro when they happen, for both damage and heals. Anything that claims otherwise is incorrect.

    I thought the upfront was a bug...Because Regen would do both up front and tick (every tick was the upfront agro again it seemed) because all ticks have a random chance to critical and if you total aggro up front alone that means it ignores the numbers it puts out which doesnt make for a logical design as it would ignore the enmity mechanics of the entire game. For instance a hate reset would ignore ticks there for making the mob check new enmity scores added after the fact which would still be the tank as it has highest passive hate generation. And I am sure regen doesnt dump huge enmity as it once did before.
