Drawing Aggro (Tanking)
DIR By: Skasian
Date: November 8, 2011, 1:01 am
---------------------------------------------------------
The key concept behind the role of a tank is to:
"Draw aggro away from your DPS and support teammates and tank
incoming damage"
The second part of that statement is fulfilled in this game but
the 'Drawing Aggro' seems to be neglected.
Often in fights, Fradz will be suddenly targeted for no apparent
reason and there is no way to stop the boss stupidly chasing
him.
What I'm suggesting is a 'Taunt' type ability on Phodom to be
selectable as one of the options in prologue.
Thoughts?

Yea I made that new "Defensive Roar" ability.
Phodom roars and musters his muscles giving him 10 armor for 10
seconds and making enemies attack Phodom in a wide area.

I'm not being harsh on anything but I think this Defensive Roar
spell should be changed from giving bonus armors to reducing
damage taken i.e. when the spell is activated Phodom will take
only 50~70% of incoming damage. I think this is better for a
tanking Phodom as in later chapters it will be much useful than
only giving a fixed amount of armors as the spell currently is
doing.

Armor = reduce damage taken.
You think now the ability isn't strong enough or what?

Fine enough, and how about giving an amount of armors that is
increased with spell level like every spell level grants 1 bonus
armor in addition to the basic 10. Therefore at level 20 you
will have 30 bonus armors instead.

It's preety good since phodom is always tanking.
And it's easy to tank , just get fradz back for a cuple of
seconds , while Phodom attacks with spells(to anger the
enemy).Then use Fradz , since he has 250 range , he can attack
from the back of Phodom.

Armor is percentage so I think 10 bonus is fine. It's good in
the beginning but also in the end.
