    Fun with tanks

    I got a little bored healing guild trash run in Bastion of Twilight tonight so decided to have a little fun with my tanks.

    I hadn't noticed that the "unleash elements" effect of Rockbiter was a temporary "fake" taunt until now!(ie it forces the mob to chase you for 5 seconds but doesn't increase your threat on them)

    This seemed to have the intended result of bemusing and confusing the tanks with screams on vent of "Where's that bugger off to?" and various other colourful language, I had to mute my mic due to the volume of laughter. I think I'm going to make this a regular event until I get caught

    So.. has anyone else found any fun or even practical uses for this as a resto shaman?

    Hmm a temporary taunt like that could actually have applications in a raid... under the circumstance that the thing you're taunting won't reach you in 5 seconds of course. Could buy 10 seconds if a tank is in trouble or something idk.
    If the radiance of a thousand suns were to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One... now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.

    Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. Ghostwolf is instant and fast so gets you out of trouble, the tank doesn't even need to taunt back but could save him eating two melee swings in a pinch.

    edited OP to state that it was a guild run, ie. I can do things like that and get away with it. Lighten up and enjoy life, smile once in a while even ;-)

    Oh wow, this could actually be a quite a potent way to increase breathing room on tanks.

    Taunt it, they run to you. You are too far. They run back

    It will be a raid-dps loss tho.
    Scars show you the remnants and failures of the past.
